Actions
The Committee agreed to:
· Write to the new Minister responsible for transport, the Minister for Local Government and Communities, highlighting the examples of excessive street lighting on trunk roads and asking whether the Welsh Government are considering a move to ‘full cut off street lighting’.
· Write to the new Minister responsible for planning, the Minister for Environment and Sustainable Development, to request information on how many local authorities address light pollution in their development plans and what those development plans state, and to request that he consider adopting a more strategic approach to light pollution by bringing forward planning policy guidance.
· Write to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents to seek its views on the road safety aspects of alternative types of lighting for streets and trunkroads.
