Get the street lights switched back on in great wakering

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Since the lights have been going off there has been a gradual increase in crime such as burglary, car theft and break ins in the local area.

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Street lighting is the responsibility of your local council.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
