Excessive, invasive lighting

Reported anonymously at 19:08, Thu 24 November 2022

Yet again the invasive Christmas lighting at Mardol, corner to Hills Lane, is a massive encroachment on peoples homes and privacy .. actually much worse than recent years The lighting was on until 03:15am yesterday!!! Despite curtains the entire apartment is brightly lit up; it's intrusive! There are 3 options: (1) take them down, (2) significantly reduce the brightness, (3) move them elsewhere Regardless of that, the lights are frankly redundant, given that the town closes for trading by 18:00 in most places and drunks visiting bars are not interested in christmas lights .. Mardol is mainly empty after regular trading hours Residents are fed up with needing to ask the council(s) to show basic consideration Last year the lights weren't even installed because of scaffolding and it was a significant improvement This lighting makes what should be a festive time of year utterly unbearable on a daily basis for months! Shouldn't the council be trying to reduce the energy footprint and reduce wasteful public spending?
