Hi K,

There are these bunch of street lights near my residence which goes faulty at least once every month.

I've to call this MPSJ every month and usually after 3 or 4 calls, they'll get the lights fixed. After 3 or 4 bloody calls.

I've told them that the lights are failing every month and there's something more to this regular repair that they're doing which is just a temporary solution and I'm sick and tired of calling them every month.
Secondly it's super dark and is inviting for crimes and robbery.

When they send me the yearly assessment tax, they've set a deadline after which I've to pay some additional fee.

Now as a tax payer, is there any way that I can demand these people to fix the street lights after my first call and within a few days period, failing which I can take some action against them? I'd like to know my rights and how can I enforce them.

They seem to be least worried about my calls and I'm wondering if there are any higher authorities that I can approach.

Secondly, if at all some unwanted incident happens to me or my car during this period, can I sue them?

Appreciate your advises!
