Make our streets safer at night
We need more police and community support officers on the streets; we need improved lighting and swift responses to bulb replacement and damaged lights; we need all local areas to have a robust and tested response system in place; and we need active monitoring of CCTV.
Over 350,000 violent and sexual offences reports are forecast on our streets in November and December 2022 alone (Open Source data).
Violent crimes, sexual offences and theft against the person all see a consistent increase in darker nights (comparison Apr/May and Oct/Nov 2018-21; OSD).

Decisions about street lighting and CCTV are a matter for individual local authorities and local businesses, not the UK Government or Parliament.
