Street light directly outside bedroom window ... problem??

[littlemissbossy]

Had a call this morn from sis, who has recently bought and moved into her first house. Yesterday she had a letter from the council informing her of future street lighting work and also noticed a mark on the pavement outside her house. Turns out the mark is where they will be repositioning the street light, directly outside her bedroom window.
Is there anything she can do to stop this?
Are there any mners who experience or have experienced light pollution from street lights?
TIA, she's real upset about it, it's her first house, she's only lived there a couple of weeks, had drain problems within a few days and now this.

We had one outside our old house. I put a blackout lining on our curtains and never noticed it.

The light has to go somewhere, the spacings/pole height/intensity of illumination are carefully calculated to achieve the correct lighting levels for the street - it would not be a simple matter of just moving this one light. Could be worse - could be a bus stop, or a bench.

Quick update. Good news!
Sis has received confirmation that they will not be placing light in proposed spot - outside her window. Engineer agreed it was in a ridiculous place! still near the house, but not as near IYSWIM. Was worth complaining after all.
