Last December saw the presentation, for the
first time, of the Sky-Friendly Lighting Award of the British
Astronomical Association, to Liverpool City Council. Sky glow,
a form of light pollution, now invades the night sky over most
of the UK - most of it the results of wasteful and ill-directed
lighting. BAA's Campaign for Dark Skies (CFDS), which was set
up in 1990, has had much success in bringing the problem of light
pollution to the attention of the public. As part of the campaign,
the Good Lighting Award is presented to organisations or individuals
who have fitted or modified lighting that reduces light pollution
to a minimum.
Colin O'Sullivan of the Engineering Consultancy Unit of
Liverpool City Council was presented with the award in recognition of the use of
the 'Sky-friendly' night-time lighting used for the London Road area of the City
Centre. The award was presented by the campaign's local officer Gerald
Gilligan, Laboratory Technician in the Department of Veterinary
Preclinical Sciences.
