Footpath Dunton Lane by the Flowers estate, opposite the pocket park.

Reported via desktop in the Streetlight Not Working category anonymously at 14:05, Fri 19 December 2025

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 432135.

Light Nuisance. A new lamp bulb appears to have been recently installed in the street lamp which is such a bright white light it is causing sleep disruption in neighbouring dwellings. It is so bright it is not possible to look directly at it. It is causing light pollution into residential private gardens/houses, when it should only be illuminating the public footpath. Even with dark curtains it is causing nightly sleep disruption. Apparently it should be a downlight, towards the footpath, and have light shielding, not causing health issues for residents by beaming into private properties, especially bedroom windows. The previous bulb did not cause this problem.
