New LED streetlights outside Christchurch home 'obscenely bright and intrusive'

Hey neighbours,

Every night Gary Bridgman’s Christchurch home is lit up like a sports stadium.

The Fendalton resident blames new LED streetlights installed on the street outside, and says complaints to the city council about an “unbelievable” glare coming through his windows have gone unresolved for weeks.

The two lights either side of the house produce a whiter light than their predecessors, Bridgman says, causing the house to be “lit up like it’s floodlit” at night. He has seen other LED streetlights in his area that are “very good”.

Council says the complaints are being investigated and the contractor has been asked to provide a solution.

What are your thoughts on this? Have you had a similar experience? Let us know below.

Land Air Water Aotearoa found urban waterways generally had the worst water quality, followed by those flowing through pastureland, while those in native forest had the best.

One expert said it was hard to find a Canterbury river where at least one indicator was not degrading, but improving quality was a long-term game and people need to keep their eye on the ball.

Judith from Spreydon

Is this your cat? He/she (I've not gotten close enough) spends a lot of time on the top shelf of my old glasshouse. The glasshouse is going to be demolished, and I haven't had a chance to warn him of the removal of his day spa facilities.

Is this your cat? He/she (I've not gotten close enough) spends a lot of time on the top shelf of my old glasshouse. The glasshouse is going to be demolished, and I haven't had a chance to warn him of the removal of his day spa facilities.

Would you apologise to him on my behalf - I will aim to replace it during summer, but humbly note it may take me a while to get it right for him.
