Moving a lamp post

[Canski]

Has anyone recently had to go through the process of moving a lamp post and could give some idea of the costs involved ? Yesterday I noticed that I have a lamp post smack bang in the middle of where my new driveway will be. I can't move the driveway so the lamp post will have to go. Would this usually be done at the time of creating the new dropped kerb ?

Your local council is responsible for this.

Councils tend to list a cost of around £1500-2500 to move a light up to 3m. Costs rise substantially if it has to be moved further.
