light pollution result

[CUBAN]

hi every one those of you who have read my previous posts will know

that i have a street light at the end of my garden which casts a horrible

glare in my garden

well about 3 weeks ago i spoke to a very nice lady at the lighting dept

of my local council  explaining why it was bothering me

and she said that she would look in to it .

lo and behold the same nice lady phoned me today and told me that

the light was going to be screened on my side and a shade that will

reflect all the light down put on what a pleasent surprise from a useally

unhelpful council

just goes to show that the polite and legal approach can pay off

Hi Cuban,

That's a great result if only it was that easy across the country i have posted letters to my local council and lighting department on more than 3 occasions with no reply at all also my local MP of which i am sure they have too reply to any request? but nothing.

Well done matey!

hi james have you tried phoneing your lighting dept direct you just might speak

to the right person like i did i think a lot of letters of this nature sit in a corner

gathering dust or put on the unimportant pile hope you have better luck in the

future

James,

When you phone straight away ask the persons name and job title, that always scares the smug little jobsworths!!
