An electrical isolation system specifically adapted for use in street furniture (10) having an electrical supply (24) to working electrical components (20) is described. The system includes an impact sensor (22) located in use within the street furniture and a monitoring unit (30) and an electrical isolator (32) located in use remote from the street furniture. When the impact sensor is activated a signal is sent to the monitoring unit which sends a signal to the electrical isolator to disconnect the electrical supply to the working components of the street furniture. A method of providing electrical isolation in street furniture (10) having an electrical supply (24) to working electrical components (20) is also described. In the event that the street furniture is damaged, the method including the steps of: a) sensing an impact suffered by the street furniture; b) sending a signal to indicate that an impact has occurred to a monitoring unit at a location remote from the street furniture; c) the monitoring unit acting to disconnect the electrical supply to street furniture at the location remote from the street furniture.
