I fear for my safety at night
On several occasions I have had to run home because of shady characters hanging around, or seeming to follow me home, which is extremely unnerving since I have no one to walk me home and cannot afford a taxi each time. I literally feel that I have to run back to be safe. As a young female, I am extremely worried about this and my safety, particularly after reading lots of instances and talking to other women who have had similar experiences.
I hope this is something that the local authority will take as a serious issue. It’s not just the above locations, but other non-main streets.
I don’t want other women to feel that they too can’t walk through the streets at night. Lighting helps to prevent crime. I don’t want to be an unnecessary victim.
