Great piece of community work, hopefully first of many more. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-67941824

Great result. Hopefully it will show other areas that it can be done, town planners please note.

Fantastic achievement, wonderful to hear.

That's a very encouraging start. It may be that, in some areas, a strategy of overnight light reduction, rather than a full switch off, is the way to go. Of course, that requires lighting that can be dimmed. With LED replacements that is possible in principle, though I suspect that some units don't have that capability.

That's great to read very promising

We went there on holiday last year just for the clear skies.  Unfortunately, every evening for the entire week was cloudy!    I did wake up once and saw that the sky was clear, but it clouded over before I got dark adapted. ☹️

The Space guard Centre tour was very interesting.  It's aimed at the general public so is fairly basic, but I did learn a few things.
