I have been following with interest the story of residents living in the Stonery Road area of Portslade complaining of bright lights, first reported in the Argus last year, and of the outcome of court action brought against Brighton and Hove Council by a resident in order to get the lights changed.
As a council tax payer I should like to know why Brighton and Hove Council spent public funds on erecting in the first place inappropriate lighting and on legal costs fighting a court action by a resident which rightly could not fail to succeed. Why was it necessary for a resident to take court action over something so blatantly outrageous?
