Vector Substation Security Lights - McLeod Road

Hi there, For over a year we've had ongoing problems with the Vector Substation shining bright security lights into our bedrooms, keeping us awake at night, and at times waking up my small baby. I've bought blackout curtains at my own expense, but the bright lights still shine through, and light up the whole entire house. I've contacted Vector numerous times with differing levels off success. They've replaced the lights but they're still a nuisance. One helpful worker turned them off, and they've been off for the past 2 months, but now they're on again. I don't believe they should be able to shine bright lights on the side of their building in a residential area, where it affects the quality of life of their neighbours. If it was a residential neighbour next door this would not be allowed, so I'm frustrated I'm still dealing with this after a year. I've tried to contact them numerous times, but now it's the last straw, as it really makes us unable to fully enjoy our property. Thanks for any help you can offer, Hayley
