As John pointed out to me... having money stored in the electricity box may not be the best way to ensure it is not tampered with.
The council are interested in coin-operated lights, but there would still be restrictions on time/use (quality of life legal issues, environmental health, etc) and shouldn't really be needed as the land is more-often-than-not public (so monetary incentive is not civil/correct).
The only real way forward is to counter the safety argument with another safety argument... I walk my dog through there at night times, there are loads of gangs in there now, etc and push for a larger/tougher/secure box to be installed.
