Will light pollution disrupt our connection with Matariki?

bloody hell the council can't even hang a lantern properly and they're worried about light pollution?? classic

mate it's deeper than a dodgy lantern read the article

you can't seriously be defending the council's incompetence

Rowan Blake2026-07-21T00:03:24.000Z

yep typical council waste of time while we actually need roads fixed

i swear if they start dimming the streetlights and i trip on my way to bin night there'll be hell to pay 🙃

kinda get the point tho.. matariki should be visible. but 17,000 lamps seems like a big job just cos one councillor noticed a dodgy lantern?

lol 'read the article' said no one ever

Alex Rivera2026-07-21T00:33:24.000Z

nah i love seeing the stars but also need streetlights so i don't get mugged. there's a middle ground right?

Casey Adams2026-07-21T00:44:24.000Z

ffs they'll just raise rates to 'fix' this and nothing will change typical

Rowan Blake2026-07-21T01:34:24.000Z

get stuffed they already waste enough on consultants

Alex Rivera2026-07-21T01:39:24.000Z

not all change is bad just balance it

Stuff2026-07-21T00:59:24.000Z

matariki is important but so is not having wires hanging over my kids' heads. priorities council

Taylor Wright2026-07-21T01:19:24.000Z

Taylor Wright2026-07-21T01:17:24.000Z
