A petition signed by more than 700 people, calling for street lights along a Clevedon road to be turned back on, will be handed to North Somerset Council at a meeting next Tuesday.

It's after 19 year old soldier Edward Heal was knocked down by a car while walking along Kenn Road in the dark in the early hours of Christmas Day.

His funeral was held yesterday.

The lights are switched off as part of a wider council scheme to save money and energy.
