Stockport - Light pollution from street light.
This photo was taken from my front bedroom window. It shows the level of intrusive light from a Stockport Council street light, one of 550 white street lights they installed in May 2000. The road here is lit to almost twice the required level and high levels of light are being shone well beyond the limits of the road and pavement. The intrusive light into upstairs windows reaches 6 times the level recommended by the Institution of Lighting Engineers. So much for this Council's concern for light pollution and climate change! See picture #22 for the same view in daytime.
