yep, i got the same problem. the light shines directly into my sons bedroom & also mine...... not happy about it really, but at least i dont need to invest in lighting for the front of my house! im sure it'll be great for the early evenings we'll be having soon enough.........

At least your lights have been completely installed. My road still has a mixture of old and new because someone at LB Southwark thought it sensible to let EDF take its own time about completing the installation, instead of having to comply with a timetable set by the authority.


Have you tried speaking to the Councillor for your ward about the excessive lux level?

we have had these in Nunhead for years, we did ring the council on mass to complain. But they basically told us to %^&* off, and cancelled the regeneration plans. Now they are widening the pathways and creating more problems with the parking around Queens road, we complained. This time they told us that the money comes from europe and it had to be spent and That the residents living alongside these road were merely incidental and that we should all ^&** off. Also if we complained we would be branded as believing we lived in England and barcoded immediately.

By any standards the lights are absurdly bright. It's like Guantanamo Bay out there, and as for inside our house, even with blackout curtains the smallest chink floods the room. We should be trying to get rid of light pollution, not encourage it, although I suppose the illumination will help when the new surveillance cameras are installed...

    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.
