As a result of CPRE's Night Blight campaign, a petition was signed asking the Prime Minister to "ensure that all exterior lights are shaded to direct their light downwards, so as to prevent light polution obscuring the beauty of the night sky"
Details of Petition "For those who live in our towns and cities, the night sky is filled with a dull orange glow punctuated only by the dim glimmer of an occasional bright star or planet. Fitting well designed shades on all exterior lights would stop light leaking wastfully upwards, restoring the glorious beauty of a star strewn sky overhead. Bring back the milky way!" |
