Investigating
The stupidest location for a street light ever
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 492261.
To whom it may concern
Today 5/02/2024 there has been a street light installed to the rear or my property on London Rd Sleaford.
It's absolutely horrendous! The LED bulbs them selves must cast in the region of 3 billion lumens, and have bathed my property and back garden in what can only be described as a 2nd sun.
Currently it's nearly 7pm in the evening February 5th, and I am considering getting my sun lounger out, applying some factor 50 and bathe infront of the supernova that I can only guess the council has erected to the rear of my property.
What can be done about this? As the only solution I can see is that it needs to be moved, how on earth someone has given permission to allow a street light there is crazy! Have they not heard of light pollution?
I eagerly await your response in the matter, attached is a photo of said light so you can see the rapture for yourselves. I hope we can come to some kind of solution to this, for I will be taking this further.
Regards
J Tufnell

Update: it was on all night. How anyone can think this is acceptable is beyond me. It needs moving and moving immediately.

Unfortunately Lincolnshire County Council is unable to assist with your enquiry as the lighting column in question is owned and maintained by Keepmoat Homes. Please direct the enquiry to them.
Thank you for reporting this matter.
