Better street lighting within Epsom and Ewell

We the undersigned petition the council to We are War on Woman, a local campaign to end sexual violence within Epsom and ewell. We have been receiving testimonials from local women and girls with one of the main concerns being feeling unsafe as a result of poor street lighting. We have a right to be safe and feel safe in our local community, also to be able to travel freely without fear. We need better street lighting.

Women and girls within the Borough of Epsom and Ewell avoid going out at night time in fear for their safety of a sexual assault or harassment. 97% of women in the uk have experienced sexual harassment. It is our human right to be able to travel freely, however poor street lighting is effecting this.
