Newly replaced lamp post increased light pollution

Sent to Bristol City Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4053286.
On Weds 21st December, the lamppost and light at the top end of Tyne Path were completely replaced. You can see the difference in heights in the photo taken before the old one was removed. Due to the vastly increased height, and brightness and far whiter colour temperature, the new fitting causes light pollution well into our garden and inside the room at the edge of the property.
The replacement is unfit for purpose, and in our opinion, forms a statutory nuisance as defined under Section 102 of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act (2005).
Suitable corrective action would seem to be a) the installation of a lower pole b) the installation of a suitable shield.
