The Village That Voted to Turn Off the Streetlights
A village voted to switch off its streetlights after midnight to save money and cut light pollution, and residents now report seeing the Milky Way from their doorsteps. Crime has not risen, but an argument about who is responsible for tripping over the cat is ongoing. Astronomy clubs have started booking weekends there.
On 3 presenters' run sheets.
