Councils have a Duty of Care to all the local inhabitants. Installing the new LED street lights is a clear contravention of the law regarding light pollution and harm to human and other life. The corporate councils have been warned and therefore can be held liable for any harm that is caused by their installations. Many local inhabitants may want to officially notify their local council personnel of their personal liability.
Even the police have been warned about the lighting and wear yellow lensed glasses for night driving in many areas.
The criminally negligent councils and the individual decision makers involved should all be held personally liable for all compensation for damages. They should be suspended without pay pending investigation, and face prosecution if they refuse to cooperate. All council tax payers will be well advised to withhold further payments and stop funding this misconduct.
