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 over came the light edge problem with a good set of curtains never drawn and an apron piece at the top, just to block any light out. I put the black out on the outside (inside window) so there would an overhang past the window so no light came in the edges,, you have to install them probably according to aspie instructions.

    I will be amazed if the housing association(shutters) or the light people adjust conditions for you.

    Going to the counseller depends on his connection to the mafia council scum circle, he may be due a favour by Nero and you get a resolution.

    Failing all that a nice juicy social sob story in the local rag, sit in a rented wheelchair for further effect for the photoshoot.

    Lets think of headlines ? .., Autism Girl blinded by lights, Turn off the lights, or my favourite .. Not a bright idea

    Good luck I hope your lights go out Tongue Out
