SORTED!!!!St John and St Clements sky polluting floodlights AGAIN


Recommended Posts

Presuming the school is now closed for the holidays- Ive emailed and also left phone message- but their playground floodlight has been left on. This pollutes the sky, wastes money and floods our bedroom with Alcatraz type light. I was looking to find the Jupiter Saturn conjunction in the sky. Not a chance. The whole bit of sky out of my window is buried in a glare of light. If anyone knows how to contact them in holiday time, please let me know.

ive just had this reply-



The school is now closed. Any queries will be answered when the office re-opens on Monday 4 January 2021.

Wishing you a Happy Christmas.

so we now have this light pollution hell till January.

Does anyone know of a caretakers number?

I think a local councillor would be able to find a number to help. Not sure who that is, though. If you find a postcode and then search "find your councillor" you should be able to get it. I agree - what a waste, but hey, it's public money...

Thanks Frankito, I email and tweet the school every time - who are closed over the weekend and have no out of hours emergency number.


My curtains are thick and lined and the light is unreasonable and Guetamalo Bay like.

I know they have done it accidentally and it costs them a lot of money.ist.


I wondered if anyone else was experiencing it or had a number, this is the lounge where I can vent in the middle of the night under the Colditz glare..

    • Great shout. They do need the extra fat when it’s winter, but don’t use fat balls from April as they are dangerous for nestlings as the babies can choke on lumps of the fat. When it gets milder switch to suet pellets as they are harder and don’t melt (the grease is bad for feathers.    
    • Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.  
    • Apparently this year due to the weather there are fewer insects for the birds to eat. So please if you don’t usually buy fat balls & seeds to put out (in safe places to avoid the cats ) a plentiful supply . They really need it this year, especially with snow forecast later this week.    Thankyou 
    • I hope she and the rider of the bike are ok. I feel its understandable that locals may be concerned when they see a road taped off and police presence.
