Telford homeowner claims 24-hour shop sign lights up bedrooms and disrupts sleep
A Telford homeowner has claimed that the advertising sign for a 24-hour shop illuminates the two bedrooms of his property ‘all night’.
Work was completed in April to install ‘Morrisons Local’ signs to the former Co-operative store in Roden Close in Dothill.
Retrospective plans were then submitted to Telford & Wrekin Council for an ‘internally illuminated’ west facing sign.
However, this was met by an objection from Strine Close homeowner Robert Lowe who also maintained his opposition to the amended external illumination with ‘downlights’.
Mr Lowe claims that the sign fixed to the western side of the convenience store illuminates his property's bedrooms ‘all night’.
He said: “The Morrisons Local at 1 Roden Close is open 24 hours a day and seven days a week. The light from this advertising sign escapes the shop’s boundary.
