UPDATE
Finally, the submission for the reduction of Light Pollution in our town goes in to council this week.
Thank you to all who emailed their letters of support through. They are included in the submission. And thank you Ian for your info and pics to help.
After talking to our Mayor today (she has kept council updated with our quest) I was informed that council are practically ready to convert to full cut-out lighting once they review our submission and love the idea of the power saving from these lights.
But it gets better!!!
There is a town forum in support of our quest and they are going to join our submission in asking that our town be supplied with a seperate switch to turn off all town public lighting & streetlighting on Friday nights and during Astronomy Camps & nights of Astronomical events of interest.
It will be a world first!!!!
Wish us luck as the submission goes in.
