l know there was a thread on this subject a while ago but l just approached the local council about a street light that shines between the next door neighbours and my place, not a great problem unless you happen to be viewing in that direction,a baffle on the back of the light l think will fix the problem, anyhow rang the council and was told to ring my electricity supplier, after being told to press 1 for this and 3 for that l finally got through to the works department who informed me that they do not modify the lights anymore and that the council uses private contractors.
so l rang the council back and got the little man in charge of new lighting and was told that l would have to place an official request to council which would be followed by an occupational health and safety study to determine the effects of the light being directed away from my house if it passes this royal commission then it will go back to council to see if the expense can be met in this years budget, the battle with beauracracy has begun.
