Campaigners are expressing their outrage over a council decision to install street lights along the Leas, which they argue will increase light pollution and harm local wildlife. Malcolm Porter, a prominent activist, criticized the council for not genuinely addressing their concerns, stating that claims the lighting is necessary for road safety are unfounded, as traffic in the area moves slowly. Fellow campaigner Kim Driver echoed the sentiment, describing the community’s reaction as one of devastation and vowing to continue fighting against the decision. Residents fear the detrimental impact on their homes and the environment as they prepare for a renewed campaign against the council’s actions.
