As a 70-year-old woman, I have two issues of great concern. Street lighting is so dismal at night that I do not feel safe walking home after being to our local restaurant or cafe.
It didn't used to be like that.
Also the footpaths are an issue night and day with their uneven surfaces. They are very dangerous. I have already had a close call. I know of one incident where a person had tripped and broken both wrists. A very concerned rate payer.

I 100% agree. The dark streets can be scary. We need more lights!
