Re-instate the Halstead Essex Street Lights

Because of the increase in burguries n lack of police

Due to the increased number of burglaries and vandalism in the town the streetlights should be reinstated as a preventative measure and a deterant to potential burglars.
The people of Halstead would feel much safer and secure in their homes.
Halsteads a nice town. Surely security of the community is more important than than the cost of the lighting. I haven't seen a reduction in my council tax since the street lights have been off??

The increase in burglaries is frightening and the use of the street lights is critical! At least if hey we're on burglars may not feel so confident and we can see if anything suspicious is going on outside our homes rather than looking at complete darkness!

I maynot live in this area but do work in the area and can feel very vulnerable when on a late shift at night

Street lights and no police is burglars haven no matter what the police and council say, things have now gone too far

Local residents in fear of more burglarys-i am on my own with 3chdren in Ravens avenue -one of my children in particular very anxious ....

To feel safe enough to get a good nights sleep again!

To stop all the burglars

When I moved to Halstead many years ago it was a very nice friendly market town. Bit by bit over the years this friendly Town has lost so many of the facilities which made it such a pleasant place to live. Particularly having no police station or police presence in the town and street lights being off for part of the night, the effect has been a reluctance to socialise in the town knowing the journey home could be in pitch darkness. The recent spate of burglaries in the town, taking place during the hours when the street lights are off indicate the need for a reconsideration of this policy.

I used to live in Halstead and my family and friends live here. I am concerned about the increase in crime recently and it also doesn't feel safe walking anywhere after midnight.

Crime ie burglaries increasing drastically! In Halstead the community is getting scared in their homes. Lights need to be on at night!

The amount of burglaries in Halstead at the moment is frightening, disgusting and as annoying as hell!!

Halstead is my home town and everybody has a point about the street lights being kept on

Dramatic increase in burglaries , lack of police presence due to closure of local station, I do not feel safe any longer in Halstead !

We need street lights in halstead it is dangerous without

Due to lots of burglaries locally and also as I don't think it's right as it makes you feel insecure, people will drive after a night out to get home as the lights are out

To discourage crimes that can be committed under cover of complete darkness & to help ensure peoples confidence that safety comes first always.....

Safety and security is paramount and reassures the public

We MUST have our street lights put back on to deter the burglars,so that people can sleep peacefully in their homes..... is that too much to ask????

Too many break ins, could make a difference to have lights on during the hours of darkness.

The police station closes, police cover becomes stretched and surprise surprise, crime increases, especially burglaries at night.

Need The Local Council To Admit Turning Lights Off And Closing The Police Station Was A Bad Idea

Because of all the burglaries & lack of police

If it helps one person it is worth it.

I was burgled while I was in bed and had my two children in the house.... The streets lights were off.... !!!!
