Mike, I don't suppose that this extends to sky beams?

Not sure about that but I think there are regulations for lights that point into the sky.

Phil I had trouble with two houses over the back, their security light. The council sent me some guidance leaflets & I took them round to them.

The bulbs should not be over a certain power & they should be directed downwards.

Fay,

You should think about moving to the middle of a field, with all the bloody problems you are having with your neighbours, I think that will be the safest place for you. ;)

Letter number 2 went in last week....

Thanks, Fay, I shall be talking to the Council shortly.

Investigation into sky beams suggests that these are viewed by the authorities as advertisements. This being the case it seems that they need a licence to operate and can be shut down if they don't have one.

Tony's idea about a field is actually something that I've seriously considered in the past. Anyone fancy chipping in?

We may buy a field & go down there & can't get in because a lot of caravans have already taken all the spaces :cry:

Then, we purchase a field without any amenities, any out of the way, which should deter caravans getting to the field.  ;)

Depends on how sturdy your gate is and how well you rig it up to the mains ;)

Shouldn't over complicate the issue........................

A simple sign hanging on the gate should do the trick  ;)
