Over the weekend it has been revealed that the Ealing Liberal Democrats have managed to get Labour-run Ealing Council to make an important u-turn so that every street in Ealing will have their lighting improved.

Liberal Democrats ran a campaign including an online petition and it was one of our three key policies in the local elections this May - to reverse the light dimming that Labour introduced in 2016. Before the election the Labour party refused to reverse the lighting dimming.

Councillor Connie Hersch, Liberal Democrat spokesperson on Crime, anti-social behaviour, community services and town centres, said: "Liberal Democrats conducted our own survey in March 2021 and we uncovered that people wanted to see the light dimming done by Labour reversed as well as the local police teams working with the Council to help reduce the fear of crime. Liberal Democrats are glad that Ealing Council have finally listened to us and residents and will now start to make all our streets safer by reversing the light dimming they introduced in 2016."
