To keep the street lights on during night to help reduce crime.

Rejected 18 signatures

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.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you.
