Petition Details

The streets no longer feel safe and it is even worse in the dark. People do night shifts, start at different times of day, when hospital staff, fire people, ambulance, and police turn up in the dark to people makes things harder. People go out and don’t necessarily want to walk home in the dark.

Additional Information

Make the streets safer.
I go out early running but it is scary now the streets are dark.
Years ago when I had stuff going on and a run would help my head I could go out at any time and the lights were on, now it is scary.
Gives robbers chance to break in and get away unnoticed as they dress in black clothing and the streets are dark
