Respondent: Mr Lincoln Ritchie

Representation Summary:

I have been fortunate to enjoy the beauty of the night sky on the peninsula and I wish for others to experience it in the same way. I have been able to see things as simple as the ISS moving overhead to the clear glow of the aurora Borealis and the Perseid meteor shower from this year. Thus, I would like greater attention on reducing light pollution, particularly near sensitive areas like RSPB sites and Cliffe Pools, to protect wildlife and preserve dark skies.
