Are shutters a reasonable adjustment for light issues?

Hope

 

I am still fighting the Council and Southern Electrical Contracting to get these horrid new lights switched off at midnight, and to get shields fitted. I am getting somewhere with it because they are finally listening, but can't guarantee  that the lights will be switched off in the night where I live.

Many people have complained, not just me, and the cabinet is reviewing the Council policy.

But if the lights do stay on and nothing changes, do you think my Housing Association would permit shutters to be fitted over my windows as a reasonable adjustment? If need be I would pay for them myself.

My Aspergers means I cannot sleep with any light - I am quite sensitive to it.

  • I still think it is about some daft contractor installing street lights that shouldn't be used in built up areas. The problem of people in flats and apartments in close proximity to the lights must have been considered before.

    Keep pressing for action through your local councillor - by all means the spectre of continental shutters. The sooner your Council wakes up to the blunder the sooner this will be resolved.
