Kinnegad Councillor David Jones says community events will be affected if nothing is done.
Issues around Westmeath street lights won't be resolved unless the government puts in the funding.
Sinn Fein councillor for Kinnegad David Jones feels the Community Recognition Fund or the CLAR scheme, is needed in order to add more street lights across the area.
Community events in parishes and towns like Coole will come under threat if the issue isn't tackled soon.
Councillor Jones says there's only one way the problems will be solved:
