flag Suffolk’s Thorington Street becomes England’s first International DarkSky Community, recognized for dark skies and light pollution controls.

flag Thorington Street in Suffolk has become England’s first International DarkSky Community, recognized by DarkSky International for its exceptionally dark skies, where the Milky Way is visible in late summer. flag The designation, awarded after a nine-year campaign by the Dedham Vale Society, required a lighting management plan using motion sensors, downlights, and restrictions on new street lighting. flag A Tudor barn owned by the National Trust now serves as a DarkSky Discovery Centre for stargazing and education. flag The hamlet joins six other UK locations with the status, highlighting growing efforts to combat light pollution and preserve night skies as a natural resource.
