Bhs has a property, some kind of administrative building, on the corner of Marylebone Rd and Wyndham St, W1 London. The stairwell at the back, closest to number 8 Wyndham St, has 2 sets of lighting over three stories that are left on all night, every night. I am told this has been the case for at least three years.

Besides shining into my bedroom window and preventing me getting a sound nights sleep I am sure the cost of wasted electricity could not be good for the Bhs balance sheet. Especially if this approach to resource-use is applied elsewhere in your organisation.

Allowing this to continue also wouldn't be good for your rating as an environmentally-responsible corporate citizen, considering both light-pollution and the excess energy consumption that worsens global climate change.

I'm sure this problem could be quickly and easily fixed by either putting the lights on a timer or even just removing the globes from one set of the two sets of lights in use.

Please let me know how and when you intend to reduce this light pollution so I can get a good nights sleep and we can all be doing our bit for the environment.
