Article: Roads - street furniture - provision and maintenance Article Body The term 'street furniture' is used to describe features placed in a highway for the benefit of citizens such as wayside seats, illuminated/non illuminated signs and bollards, utility inspection covers and telephone kiosks. Upon receiving a report of damaged street furniture, Barnsley Council will investigate and decide what action to take. Some street furniture is not the council's responsibility to maintain, so we will ensure that those responsible carry out the necessary repairs quickly.
