Need for the Document

• The purpose of requesting a new street light is to address specific needs or concerns related to safety, visibility, and overall community well-being.

Information which might help

Here are some common purposes for requesting a new street light:

• Improved Safety: Street lights enhance safety by providing visibility in public areas, especially during the evening and night-time hours. They help pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers navigate roads, sidewalks, and intersections safely. Requesting a new street light can help reduce accidents, deter criminal activities, and create a safer environment for residents and visitors.
• Crime Prevention: Adequate lighting plays a crucial role in preventing crime. Well-lit streets and public spaces discourage criminal activities by increasing the visibility of potential offenders and creating a sense of security for individuals in the area. Requesting a new street light can help address areas with high crime rates or improve the overall security of a neighbourhood.
• Enhanced Visibility: Insufficient lighting can create hazardous conditions, making it difficult for drivers to see clearly, pedestrians to navigate sidewalks, or residents to feel comfortable walking in the area. Requesting a new street light can improve visibility, reducing the risk of accidents, tripping hazards, and other incidents due to poor lighting conditions.

Other uses of the Document/Certificate

Please explain what are other uses of obtaining this document/certificate.
