Tulloch Resolis School - misaligned floodlights

This photo shows the misaligned floodlighting being sited around the new Resolis Primary School, Black Isle, Easter Ross. A joint project between Tulloch Construction and Morrison Construction (now owned by Galliford Try), the scheme includes several asymmetric floodlights sited around the rear parking area. Unfortunately, due to being angled at around 60 degrees, this will mean that the main beam will be directed above the area to be lit rather than on it - see red arrow above. The main Dingwall to Cromarty road is nearby, so this lighting could be potentially very dazzling and dangerous to motorists (and consequently pedestrains) as they pass the entrance of the new school. It could also be very disturbing to residents in nearby houses.

I've emailed both Tulloch Construction and Morrison Construction to ask them to adjust them for better and safer lighting, but have not had a reply so far.
