Lighting Nuisance Survey

This pilot survey is intended to determine the sources and types of lighting problems in the UK and whether local authorities have been able to help. The results will be published and supplied to Defra. Please note that this survey is optional and the data will be anonymised prior to use. No personal data will be retained.

Please note: This survey is done in co-operation with DeMontfort University, and you will also find it on another part of this website, so please only fill in one version of the survey!
