In the end, the council will just raise your rates for extra street maintenance. And it will cost you. Not worth it.

Fix the light with sling once broken it'll take 6 months to fix

Get a long ladder, masking tape and black paint, climb, mask and paint out light so the light only shines downwards

Be if the light shines into you front bedroom complain that the bright light is causing sleeping problems and undue stress they will then have to mask it or suffer a lawsuit

ps: looking at that light if it was only recently erected you'll find it probably does not meet the current ASA standard for street lighting.

Use the slingshot and if you get caught, claim temporary insanity.

Don't tell them you are a telescope nut or they'll realise you are in fact permanently insane

Seriously though, the street lights are a total pain in the a%$#
