I am submitting this petition for the safety of the children and carers' of Brook Green community.
Over the last few months, there have been an increased number of offences targeting children and carers around Brook Green playground. Incidents of indecent exposure, harassment and general anti -social behaviour.
The lack of public lighting has made the playground particularly unsafe for our children, especially in the darker Autumn-Winter months.
The proposal would be for the playground to be lit until 7:00 PM during the Autumn-Winter months, to prevent it attracting offenders and to allow for the children to play in a safe environment.
Given the number of schools in the vicinity of the playground, installing public lighting would increase the safety of the entire Brook Green community.
Additionally, I’d like to remind decision makers that outdoor play is key to the healthy physical development of children, as it reduces the risk of obesity and associated health issues, but it also fosters social skills, creativity and imagination, as they engage in play with other children.
This ePetition runs from 16/12/2024 to 16/03/2025.
