Inadequate street lighting

Despite several residents contacting both the local council , the police and the local neighbourhood scheme - this street is STILL very poorly lit. It is a very remote and lonely street - especially at the bottom end near Gas Street and this precise spot is a common and regularly used meeting point for drug deals. Cars/loiterers are often to be seen in the early hours swapping money/drugs . It's also a popular spot for extra - marital affairs and on many occasions I have passed a steamy -windowed car with bare feet in the windscreen! Just what everyone wants to see on their way home from work outside their house!! The lighting is also very poor from house numbers 21 to 33 - - it faces a dark park and there are no other houses / people nearby. I feel very unsafe just walking down my own street at night and have to fumble to be able to see to get my key into the door!
