What the petition asks
Several authorities have switched off street lights at night, regardless of possible crime and safety consequences. The latest is Surrey County Council, to save £210,000 a year, a mere pittance in relative terms, and an amount that could surely be saved by, for example, axing the Chief Exec post.
