Labour are very very angry because street lights are being switched off or dimmed to save money
I think it is great we have far too much light pollution as it is and it reduces CO2 which is a backbone labour policy

If they want to save money stop all the fringe benefits to all those bloody politicians and the likes for a start.
P.S. Article said "The move is opposed by motoring groups, with the AA saying it has contributed to car crashes.", not idiots then!

Leeds spent loads of money having new lights fitted and fiddling with old ones.
Then turned them off for all but an hour a day, great money planning there. To be fair though, it took them over a year to go from installing the poles to having working lights near here. It's just a shame so many are up in the trees so they leave massive black spots on the paths.

I'd be happy with reduced lighting too, particularly from, say midnight to 0500, and especially on lesser-used main roads outside of urban areas.
I can assure you that if you ever venture outside urban areas to the country, there are no lights to turn off- even on well used roads. Always fun with a townie to stop on a rural road at night and turn the lights off. Most have never seen it that dark before.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
