Barnet Council 2200K LED switch 1 July 2024

This morning hopefully marked the conclusion of my four year legal battle with Barnet Council, when the 4000K LED streetlights in my road were replaced with 2200K, following our settlement agreement dated 16 April 2024.*
I say hopefully, because as they say, the proof is in the pudding, so I reserve judgement until this evening, and will post photos and more info concerning my satisfaction - as per the Tomlin Order (21 April post**) in due course.
I’ve yet to find out the total cost to Barnet Council (taxpayers!) who wasted so much money in all sorts of ways fighting me, while my own legal fees over four years were an astronomical £50,000.
The council should be ashamed for treating me this way; it’s absolutely disgusting, when the problem could have been so easily and speedily resolved after I initially complained to councillor Dean Cohen, the day after the blinding hashtag#LEDs were fitted on 20 January 2020.
They even demanded that I sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before they would agree to change the lights. However, my ‘take no bullsh*t’ counsel, MARC BEAUMONT FCIArb, pointed out that it wasn't legal for a local authority to make such a demand.
My hard won victory was discussed in an interview I gave to ITN London News, and an article published in The Times newspaper (18/19/20 April posts**), and gained publicity worldwide.
I set a precedent, paving the way for other people to insist the overly bright 4000K luminaires outside their homes are changed, without the need for expensive litigation. And I will do anything I can to help.
Meanwhile, a big thank you to Simon Nicholas, who has been an enormous help to me over the last four years, providing me with tech info and data (my area of expertise being 👀 not 💡!), and to teenage videographer, Grace Bunn, for her help filming and editing this video 💋
