Lack of light pollution from pubs and restaurants during lockdown has made stars more visible


Share
CPRE chief Crispin Truman said the fall in light pollution was ‘an unintended positive consequence of lockdown’.
Light pollution is bad for health, disrupting people s sleep, and damaging for wildlife, with migrating birds becoming disoriented by it because they use the stars and moon to navigate.
Mr Truman added: I m delighted to see severe light pollution in the UK appears to have fallen… Let s hope we can hold on to some of this achievement as we come out of lockdown.

Hello, Warren Murray with you again on the other side of the chocolate egg mountain.
Keir Starmer is likely to oppose Covid status certificates, the Guardian has been told, as Boris Johnson promised they would not be introduced earlier than mid-May. A senior Labour source said ministers had not adequately explained how it would work, its purpose and the cost to the taxpayer. Forty Tory MPs have pledged to oppose certificates as “divisive and discriminatory”, potentially wiping out the government’s majority. Under the scheme, only people who can prove they have had a coronavirus vaccine, a recent negative test, or antibodies from an infection in the last six months would be allowed into some settings such as theatres and sports stadiums.
