Wolverhampton Council street light shielding

[delsix]

I have a lamp post just outside my house which was nicely covered by a conifer tree. However, because the tree was blocking the streetlight (and keeping my garden that little bit darker) I've had to chop the top off.

I've now just had a brief chat with my local council and told them it is shining straight through my bedroom window (which it is, didn't mention observing) and they agreed to put a shield on the light straight away, no argument no charge.

It remains to be seen how fast they'll do it and I'll report back with progress.
