To provide lighting to Victoria Park, London E3, to allow evening public use

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Victoria Park, Tower Hamlets, shuts at dusk every day of the year. Unfortunately in winter this can be late afternoon.
In summer the park is used for dog walking, exercising, commuting, general recreation and unfortunately these activities are currently suspended due to a lack of infrastructure.

The park requires the installation of street lights to run around the internal perimeter of the park to allow for winter recreational use for the public. The loop proposed is roughly 3 miles long with the lighting being in keeping with the style of the park.
In winter, the public are forced onto the surrounding roads/pavements, yet there is clear evidence that the park is needed throughout the year in the evenings and should be maintained to allow this under section 10 of the open spaces act.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Maintenance of the park is the responsibility of the local authority, Tower Hamlets - you may find the following link helpful:
