light polluiton from St John and St Clements School

[Huggers]

I have just emailed their office about this.

But meanwhile is anyone else getting bright light shining into their bedrooms from the security lights in the school's playground. All night long.

It is not a constant problem. The light is turned on for several nights and then is dormant for others.

Right now it shines upwards and straight into our bedroom window, penetrating thick curtains.

usually when security lights are installed Southwark gives guidance ( or it may be specific permission) as to the intensity of the light, the angles of the beam and how long they can be on for. Most should be on a time switch.

maybe they were influenced by my email cos they switched it off last night! Thank you thank you thank you!

Getting this again tonight, their security lights are foodimg the gap in buildings and shining through my curtains like an airport runway

And they?re still on and it?s daytime! What a waste of money!

Heber is the same- all through the holiday periods, every weekend, all night- lights left on, windows left open.

There is also now a 'double lamppost' outside the school. Literally two streetlights less a foot from each other, which are also opposite two illuminated street signs. The council said one of the lampposts was going to be removed, but there is little sign of it happening two months on. Opposite the school it's permaday.

They've emailed me this morning apologizing- someone left it on after an after school activity.
