This follows complaints from residents about the intense lighting of a building near Gare do Oriente station. The party submitted a formal request to the Municipal Assembly, asking the Council for an update on the steps taken since April 2022, when a recommendation to reduce light pollution was approved. This recommendation was originally proposed by the Green Party and aimed at addressing the growing problem of excessive artificial lighting in the city.

In their statement, the party highlighted ongoing issues with the lighting at a specific building near Gare do Oriente, where six spotlights have been blinking 24 hours a day for the past year. This has caused significant discomfort for the local residents, who have expressed their concerns about the constant disturbance. The Green Party is calling for the City Council to respond by providing details on any actions taken since the approval of the recommendation, and whether the council has conducted any studies to assess the impact of light pollution in Lisbon.

Furthermore, the Green Party is asking if the City Council is considering launching public awareness campaigns to educate residents about the negative effects of light pollution and how to mitigate it. They emphasise the importance of addressing this issue, not only for the well-being of the residents but also to protect the environment and reduce unnecessary energy consumption. The request reflects growing concerns about urban lighting and its impact on both people and the environment
