Notice of Petition

 

Received from Mr John Lazenby, 645 signatories

 

Get the street lights turned back on urgently.

Since Surrey County Council turned the street lights off in March 2017, crime statistics show that crime has risen dramatically by 35.5% between the hours of midnight and 05:00am as a direct result.  Cllr Hodge has been provided with these statistics.  Surrey County Council, by continuing to keep street lighting off, is not demonstrating a duty of care to Surrey residents.  Get the street lights turned back on with immediate effect.

 

Decision:

That the response, attached to this decision sheet as Appendix 1, be approved.
