Interesting response Albert. Very little mention of environmental effects on wildlife or light pollution. Good to see that they plan on removing all the old mercury lamps in the next few years.

At least they acknowledge our plight, I still thought that would be the least of their worries, but hey, credit where credit is due, hopefully though, action will speak louder than words!

An encouraging response, it does seem to be moving someway in the right direction.
