Service Report light pollution
We can deal with many types of light pollution complaints from residential or commercial premises. If you are unsure, we would recommend making contact with us in person or by telephone first. We can then discuss the process with you personally and you can then decide whether or not to formalise your complaint. Report it to us here.
We do not consider anonymous complaints unless there are exceptional circumstances.
