Residents of Lincolnshire may soon witness alterations to the region’s streetlighting policy as the council re-evaluates its decision to deactivate lights during late-night hours. The current strategy, perceived by some as ‘gruelling’, has brought forth worries regarding safety and security within local communities. The council is studying feedback from residents who insist that inadequate street lighting exposes pedestrians to risks and intensifies the potential for criminal activity. Local councillors will reportedly deliberate over potential modifications to the policy in imminent meetings, striving to find a balance between environmental concerns and public safety.
