Heritage Street Lights Installed in Kendal to Reduce Light Pollution

Kendal’s historic Thorny Hills has recently upgraded its street lighting to comply with dark skies regulations, enhancing both the aesthetics and environmental impact of the area. This initiative, a collaboration between Westmorland and Furness Council and the Friends of the Lake District’s Dark Skies Cumbria Project, was inspired by local residents Malcom Whiteside and Peter Kuit. The new heritage-style lights, featuring refurbished cast iron columns and designed to minimize light pollution, direct illumination downwards to reduce glare and sky glow while using energy-efficient technology. Councillor Peter Thornton emphasized the council’s commitment to lowering carbon emissions and protecting nocturnal wildlife. Residents report a significant improvement in their quality of life, enjoying both comfort and elegance in the upgraded lighting, which has garnered positive feedback from the community.
