Memorandum from Mr Maurice Gavin
I submit that there are two areas where light
pollution is ruining the nightsky and where legislation is woefully
inadequate:
(a) illumination of aerosols (skyglow) caused
principally by poorly designed (non cut-off) street lights as
the attached image amply demonstrates. These lamps continue to
be installed by local authorities etc. in both new and upgraded
schemes; and
(b) direct illumination of properties and
gardens by spillage from high intensity halogen lamps etc; from
neighbouring properties.
NB: Photographs submitted not printed.
