Thankyou Mr Council road planner.

To increase the amount of light in our street the council have tried to add extra lights down the other side of our street, unfortunatly they found gas pipes and other services in the way so had to add them to our side.

This meant spaceing the lights out and the light which sat outside our bedroom window, has moved to outside next doors window! Wow the bedroom is so much darker now

Anyone else putting up with a light outside their house?

Yes On one side I have a streetlight. On the other side I have the dozy cat-woman.

we have a street light in our village... Go us! although its in the other half of the village (which has different name) so technically nope no lights in our village at all

 

[H2DaE]

No, but the council are closing the road I use to get to the pub down between 7pm and 7am for 7 months to sort out the gas pipes
Means to get there I have to go the long way around, adds about 10 miles to my trip

 

[serin]

yes i do!

the yellow is quite soothing tho

what you cant see is the flood lights that are sometimes set off in the garde accross the road, which can light up my whole room, even with curtains drawn

i remember living in a village was so much better than here, only 1 crime in 12 years i was there and that was some peopel robbed one of the coppers' house for his tools

I have some houses about 50metres away behind our house slightly elevated, they have their security light going off all night! That used to annoy me, then I bough a black out blind and it's always dark when I want it to be

 

[Hellcat]

Ha Serin thats miles away! When I said outside I mean less than 2meters from the window!

[The Negotiator]

As I said, I just have a nice thin black out blind (dark blue) - no light gets in during the day or night.
