THREE cheers for City of York Council. At midnight I went to look at the newly-opened Millennium Bridge.

Imagine my surprise when first the lights illuminating the arch went out and then all the lights went out.

I suppose the bridge is part of the public highway. Can I now look forward to seeing all the lights on the public highway turned off at midnight?

Imagine how wonderful the sky over York will look with no light radiating upwards.
