Doncaster Council Embraces IRSS UK Street Lighting Covers to Reduce Single Use Plastic

At IRSS UK, we are proud to partner with forward-thinking councils committed to sustainability and safety. A recent rollout of our street lighting covers at Doncaster Council shows how simple changes can make a big difference — both for the environment and for frontline staff.

We received this fantastic feedback from Craig Langstaff, CMgr MCMI TMIET, which perfectly highlights the real-world impact of our products:

A Smooth Rollout With Frontline Staff

Traditionally, new equipment can meet some resistance from teams working on the ground. However, our easy-to-install street lighting covers were embraced without hesitation.

Craig noted:

“The staff have all received the products well and have started to use them without any fuss, which at Doncaster Council is usually unheard of.”

This seamless adoption speaks volumes about how quick and simple our covers are to fit. Designed for efficiency, our covers allow operatives to work safely and without disruption.

Reducing Single Use Plastic Across Operations

A key part of Doncaster Council's decision to adopt IRSS UK covers was the commitment to reducing single use plastic. Our durable, reusable covers are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastic solutions, helping councils meet their sustainability goals while maintaining the highest standards of operational safety.

Craig added:

“Our electrical duty holder has also been impressed and has asked me to provide your details so he can share them with colleagues at neighbouring authorities.”

It’s great to see our solution generating interest beyond Doncaster — helping more councils move towards greener, safer practices.

Expanding the Range: Custom Sizes Available

Following their success with the standard covers, Doncaster Council has requested quotes for larger-sized covers (180mm and 200mm diameters by 1m). At IRSS UK, we are always happy to support custom requirements, ensuring every client gets exactly what they need.

IRSS UK street lighting covers are:

• Simple to install — saving time and hassle.
• Durable and reusable — helping to reduce single use plastic.
• Customisable to fit different street lighting needs.

Whether you're looking to upgrade your street lighting safety equipment or make a positive environmental impact, our team is ready to help.
