Land North of Cherry Hinton SPD

Representation ID: 31731

Received: 01/10/2017

Respondent: Mr Christopher Hills

Representation Summary:

It is important that street lighting should use full cutoff housings, so that all of the light is sent down onto the ground where it is wanted, and none is sent out horizontally or above the horizontal where all it does is cause glare and light pollution. The new street lights that were installed in Borley Way and elsewhere last year are very bad, they send out lots of light above the horizontal.
