Reduce street lighting to many can be positioned on streets, help reduce carbon

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We are being constantly bombarded with request to reduce our use of electricity within the home to help with carbon emissions.
However when you walk around your local estates (including motorways), you can clearly see were savings can be made by reducing the amount of street lights in use.

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 this would be the responsibility of your local authority and not the UK Government or Parliament.
