Lamp post exceedingly bright – needs collar

Reported via desktop in the Street light fault category anonymously at 22:24, Tue 29 October 2024

Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 6673671.

Since upgrading to LED, the lamp post outside #2 Bath Road is exceptionally bright. This is shining into rooms keeping people awake on both sides of the road, and over the properties into gardens too. With such a wide beam, this is causing un-necessary light pollution which for a village, is an important factor. Please can we place a collar on this to focus the beam to where it is meant to be – on the road and accompanying pavement. (thank you)

  • We are sorry you are experiencing issues with glare from the light near your house.

    To help reduce the glare we have instructed our contractors to fit a shield to the back of the lantern and we trust after they have attended you will notice the difference.
