Vimal Ohrie lives in Tomswood Road in Chigwell and is supporting a petition asking councillors to turn back on street lights and prevent vandalism.

She has concerns over the well being of elderly people in Chigwell due to unlit roads and is concerned that the darkness is adding to local crime figures.

In this week's speaking out, Mrs Ohrie is discussing examples of 'criminal activity' in the area and examples of badly lit roads causing potential danger to local residents.
