Hello Folks. Thank you all for helping to get this going. I will attempt to spread the word in other ways in the coming weeks. I do look at this as being similar to the 'ban smoking in the workplace' law that came in years ago. It was only weeks after that the hospitality workers complained that THEIR workplace was not covered, and should be. Pubs, restaurants, cafes etc. Getting a law that recognises our RIGHT to have a natural dark environment could just be the 'IN' that is needed to get light pollution more widely recognised. Please, keep spreading the word. And for those that may have suggested certain 'DIY' solutions, they have all been suggested and dismissed. I think the local Housing Association would point the Police in my direction without delay. And I don't just want to tackle one light, but ALL the intrusive lights out there. There is just no need for so much artificial light. Cheers

Hello folks. I am not very active on forums, but thought I'd use this one to tell you of a petition I have started. It is on 'www.petition.parliament.uk' and is titled 'The Right To Dark Law'. Its aim is to get a law passed recognising a property owners right to a natural dark environment after sunset at their property, be it home or business. It has been open for a month or so now and got off to a slow start. Please read and consider signing, and spreading the word. Once you are on the green and white pages you are only a couple of minutes from completion. I have been driven to this due to neighbouring flats having a 'security' light that comes on at dusk and goes off at dawn. It floodlights the whole of my back garden all night. Debated with the local council environmental health dept and the local Housing Association, but no joy. Any signers, thank you.
