Yeah it's getting brighter everywhere. 15 years ago I could see the milky way and the L/SMC from my backyard in Liverpool no worries. Now it has to be a real good dark night with good seeing to make out anything. That was before the M7 and all the new industrial/residential areas. Light policies or better designs would definitely make a big difference. With all the "climate" and energy preservation debates you'd think they'd do something about all the energy that's going up in smoke at night lighting up places that don't need to be? "leaving the light on" seems to be now something that's accepted as being normal. That's BS IMHO. You don't use or need it, switch it off.
