Why not go the whole hog and switch all the street lights off in the village.

But thats the point though...... there are no street lights in this village!

Today = dry, bright November Sunday and yet NO-one playing on the courts again all day! Does this justify spending lottery grant funds....creating light pollution and ugly mess....and generally annoying all the locals?

It is unfortunate that a few peoples enjoyment of a dark sky at night in rural areas is ruined by a few inconsiderates who want to bring the town to the village. Why can't people leave the unlit villages as they are and go somewhere else already lit up, so as not to affect those already living in the area for it's 'rural' qualities. If you don't like the dark, then go to a town or city where it is light 24hrs a day and leave rural England rural.
