If you want to get your message across about light pollution to your MP go to http://www.faxyourmp.co.uk and send a FAX asking what your MP is intending to do about the light pollution issue in your area. It's always worthwhile pointing out the three aspects of the problem: -
1 – The complete waste of electricity, remember we pay for this in our rates;
2 – The light pollution caused, the effects are well known to any astronomer;
3 – The lack of a central policy regarding the local planning regulations and public lighting. Ask when is it going to be addressed?
Obviously our priority would probably be 2 -1 -3, but MP's are driven by cash.
