Frequently Asked Questions

The responsibility for street furniture installation typically falls on the local government authority responsible for managing public spaces in a particular area. This could be a city council, town council, or borough council, depending on the location. However, private developers or community organisations may be involved in installing specific pieces of street furniture, particularly in newly developed areas or as part of public art projects.

Several factors are considered when choosing where to install street furniture, including:

  • Need and demand: Is there a clear need for the particular type of furniture in the area? For example, placing benches near bus stops or playgrounds makes sense, while installing them in remote locations with low foot traffic might not be justified.
  • Accessibility: The furniture should be accessible to people of all abilities, including those with disabilities. This means considering factors like ramp access, clear pathways, and appropriate dimensions for wheelchairs and mobility scooters.
  • Safety: The location should be safe for both users of the furniture and those passing by. This means avoiding placement near busy roads or intersections, considering potential obstructions to walkways, and ensuring proper lighting is available at night.
  • Aesthetics: The furniture should complement the surrounding environment and enhance the overall visual appeal of the public space. This means choosing styles and materials that harmonise with existing architecture and landscaping.
  • Maintenance and sustainability: The chosen location should be easy for maintenance crews to access for cleaning, repairs, and potential removal. Consideration should also be given to the type of furniture and its durability to ensure minimal repairs and replacements are needed.

Permits are often required for installing street furniture, particularly if it involves excavation, structural changes, or placement on public property. These permits ensure the installation complies with safety regulations, building codes, and accessibility standards. The specific permit requirements can vary depending on the location and type of furniture being installed.
