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.
