almost no impact at all on amateur astronomy. If they only use

Martin - you mean "...no harm is done *to astronomers*"

Of course, the lights will destroy the natural night time
environment, leading to confusion and death to countless number of
birds (www.flap.org), thus encouraging the scavengers like rats to
survive.

And if the lights distract motorists, they could cause a fatal
accident (as have happened a few times before).

I have contacted the AA motoring about light pollution distracting
motorists on the M1 which is only 1.25 miles away but as yet I have had
no reply to my e-mail. However Leeds and Bradford airport have contacted
Barnsley council expressing their concern about the halo as their flight
approach path lies in the halos projected path. I am waiting to see how
the Barnsley Chronicle reports the issues this Friday 26th. I have
spoken to the RSPB and they think that birds already have become used to
light pollution so a further increase will not unduly upset them.

Thanks for all your support CJ
