Keep the Thames path haven for nature - no street lights!
This week work has started to put street lights on the Thames Path to Putney Bridge. These lights will change the character of one of the most natural sections of the Thames Path as it passes Barnes Wetland Centre and I don't think there has been any consultation Lots of people enjoy walking this stretch of the path - especially because covid means our daily walk or run is one of life's few pleasures - and those, like me, who walk at dawn or dusk especially appreciate enjoying the sunrise or sunset and the birdsong. What can be done? Richmond Council street lighting are doing the work and had one streetlight in on Monday, by the Harrods Building, and 6 or 7 by this morning. I appreciate some people might like the idea, but there are plenty of places to walk or run with street lights already, it seems crazy to take away one of the few natural spaces in our busy city.
