The contract comprises the maintenance of 18,000 lighting assets, including approx. 15,000 street lights and 3,000 illuminated signs.

Alistair Thompson, managing director of VolkerHighways, said: “We are delighted to be starting this new collaboration with Torbay Council, which will expand on our existing presence in the South West region. I look forward to working with the council on this exciting new opportunity over the coming months.”
