Make the Hazelmere Road Pedestrianised Area Safer

We the undersigned petition the council to urgently provide sufficient operational lighting in the Hazelmere Road Pedestrianised Area. We also petition the council to remove or restore the rotting planter boxes, remove the black 'cleansing services' boxes, repair the cracked pavements, introduce CCTV & no fly-tipping signage, and pollard all trees in the Hazelmere Road Pedestrianised Area.

The Hazelmere Road Pedestrianised Area, which intersects with Priory Park Road and Kenilworth Road is a magnet for Anti-Social Behaviour and Fly-Tipping. The area was refurbished in 2005, but 20 years on, it is no longer fit for purpose and provides an ideal environment for crime. This is largely due to the area being almost completely unlit in the evening. The area relies on 24 recessed uplighters which are set into the cracked pavement. All 24 lights are non-operational. The area has only 1 remaining working streetlamp, the light of which is almost completely obscured by mature trees. This provides an almost completely pitch black area in the evening, and an ideal environment for Anti-Social behaviour (specifically drug-use) and Fly-Tipping. The area also has 2 black 'grit-style' bins which may have at one point been used for cleansing services. The area also features large wooden planter boxes, which are rotting, with exposed broken frames and unmaintained greenery. In 2025, both the planters and black bins are used as "drop zones" for Anti-Social Behaviour and Fly-Tipping. We petition the council to rectify the above items, in order to improve the overall safety of the area for the many families and elderly ones who live and pass through this zone daily.
