Solve street lights problem at Wawase

Dear Editor,

I AM writing to draw your attention to the inadequate street lights in some parts of Wawase, a situation that continues to pose serious concerns for residents.

Street lights play a crucial role in ensuring safety and security within a community. Unfortunately, several areas in Wawase are completely without functioning street lights.

This has made movement at night very difficult and dangerous, especially for workers, students, and traders who return home late.

The lack of proper lighting has also created an enabling environment for criminal activities such as theft and harassment. Residents often live in fear, and some are forced to limit their movements after dark. Additionally, poor visibility increases the risk of road accidents, putting both pedestrians and drivers at risk.

It is concerning that despite the growing population and development in Wawase, this basic infrastructure issue remains unresolved.

I would like to appeal to the relevant authorities, including the local assembly and electricity providers, to urgently address this problem by installing new street lights and repairing faulty ones.

Ensuring adequate street lights will not only improve security but also enhance the overall quality of life for residents in the area.
