A row has erupted after residents in a Northumberland village complained the lights from a petrol station were ruining the area's 'world famous' night sky.
The service station at Thropton opened in November but disgruntled residents have called for it to close at night or shut down permanently over fears it is driving tourists away.
But others have hit back saying the petrol station, which also has a Spar, butchers and hot food deli, has too many advantages to close.
