What the petition asks

To get the lights turned back on at night time, As crime is on the rise, elderly people won’t come out at night time because the lights being switched off, partially sighted people can’t come out at night time because the roads & Pavements are in such a bad state.

We’ve been told by Lincolnshire County Council that for this to happen it will cost Skegness Town Council 500k over 20 years, however for this to happen, it has to paid in a one off payment and not in instalments and will not guarantee how long the light will be switched back on for, even though they want the full amount up front.
