They are current ONS 9-character codes ('E' for England). These codes cover
a wide range of administrative geographies.There is absolutely no need to add a reference to the local authority to street furniture objects as OSM is a geographical database & this can be determined from the data. Note that individual authorities may have two sets of codes (probably non-overlapping) for a given set of objects simultaneously. This is certainly true of street lights when replacement/maintenance has been out-sourced to a third party. Additionally, some councils only use a within street reference number for street lights (and possibly other street furniture).
