We need to fight the trend of turning night into day with light pollution, warns DAVID HOOK of CPRE Norfolk
THE SKIES of Norfolk are renowned for their beauty, by day and at night. Our dark skies and dark landscapes, which are among the least light-polluted in all of England, are important elements of our rural character and deserve greater protection.
Light pollution suburbanises the countryside, obscures our view of the stars and planets, has a negative impact on the health of plants and animals, including humans, and causes disputes between neighbours. Unfortunately the additional lighting associated with ever increasing levels of development, together with a proliferation of security lights, threatens extensive areas of countryside that are currently dark, rural and tranquil.
