We are trying to get as many names as possible to sign this petition to get lighting in and around Southwick Rec. Children were told they could not hang around Southwick Square and were asked to go to Southwick Rec instead (it would be safer for them). This was not the case when 3 young teens where held at knife and hammer point and mugged of their phones and ipod by 4 older teens. There is only ONE street light near the park and does not light up the whole area. Please do sign up and help us get the lighting put up, not just for our Children's sake but also for all us Adult's too. Thankyou.

I spent the evening walking around Southwick Rec and the lack of visibility is even more terrifying than I realized. The stories you are sharing about feeling unsafe here are heartbreaking and only confirm why we cannot stop fighting for these lights.

Seeing this kind of momentum brings me so much relief after everything our local kids have endured in the dark. It is clear that I am not the only one haunted by what happened at the park and this overwhelming support gives me hope that we can finally force a change.

My son wont even go there anymore after what happened. It is pitch black down there at night. We need lights there now before someone else gets hurt.

Fix the lighting. It is scary to walk past there after work. Should have been sorted months ago.
