What the petition asks
We need to reduce the rising crime rate! I feel leaving street lights on will help reduce criminals breaking into homes and vehicles and reduce muggings.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This would be the responsibility of your local council.
