IT is unbelievable when we are all aware of environmental issues that light pollution seems to be acceptable to give the wow factor to Southampton.
If the laser scheme goes ahead the city will be polluting not just its own doorstep, but a large area of Hampshire and parts of the Isle of Wight. The area effected will include the New Forest National Park, whose governing body has to protect the park against such intrusions, because they will effect the ecosystem, such as moths. I trust the NPA has objected.
It was not that long ago that any plans/ideas by businesses, local government departments etc. were subject to an environmental audit, but while they all like to make a noise on environmental issues, they have all lost the plot!
