We call on Lincolnshire County Council to reinstate a safe level of street lighting in built up residential area in Lincolnshire.
Why is this important?
LCC have been turning off street lighting in built up areas on Lincolnshire since October. Now large areas are plunged into complete darkness. This is a risk to those walking at night especially affecting the elderly and may well contribute to falls and certainly adds to a perceived risk of assault to vulnerable groups. Light pollution is obviously a concern but there is no need for residential areas to go from fully lit to being plunged into complete darkness.
