Re: Floodlight threat in Warwickshire village

I was reading a different thread a few days ago where someone mentioned the 'Good old days' when lights would go out at night and night crimes were a lot less. I think that streetlights and house outside lights do help those so inclined to take from others. I have lived in a city and extremely rural and in my experience the crime rate soars the more lights are around. Must make their job a lot easier if they can see what they are doing. In rural villages no one is out beyond about 11 pm. other than those going somewhere, or coming home, in their car. There is nothing else to do. So for a village to have street lights all night long is ridiculous. Unless of course it is a large village with a place of employment that has staff coming and going all night.
If these floodlights are going to burn when not in use then that is a waste of energy resource and something should definitely be done about it. I would hate to be subjected to floodlights at night. I like to look at the stars, any kind of light nearby makes that very difficult.
Hope you can find a way to stop the light pollution.
