More Light Pollution Woes - "lorry park 'ruins night sky' for Kent residents"

It affects me, since Ashford lies to the SW from where I normally place my telescope. Not much I can do, the whole Kent is seriously polluted, but I can still see the Milky Way if it's 30/40 degrees or higher above the horizon. It is much worse to the NE, those Thanet greenhouses are, I believe, one of the top light polluters in the UK. Anyway, as it has been pointed out, LED lights are popping up like there's no tomorrow, and if something as serious as the "insect apocalypse" we are witnessing has not helped in reversing the trend, who is going to listen to astronomers?

That brexit lorry park is a monstrosity and I agree with the last two posters, escalates the habitual harm imposed on all nocturnal wildlife as well as the mental health of people living in its vicinity.
