Turn street lighting back on Leicester and surrounding villages
Rejected
19 signatures
What the petition asks
street lighting is switched off at night. This as a result, puts residents and pedestrians as well as their homes and vehicles all across Leicester and surrounding villages severely at risk.
There has been a high number of criminal acts taking place during lights switch off. Cctv shows in black and white and is not as clear as when there is light and we don’t have the funding for the police to do anything so our villages feel unsafe
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This is the responsibility of your local council.
