Concerns about safety on the streets are growing across Yorkshire, including here in the city
00:07
of Leeds. More than a third of people in the region say they feel unsafe walking home alone
00:12
at night, and an even higher number worry about alleyways. Calls to services like StrutSafe
00:17
are rising, reflecting wider fears. Women are particularly affected. Almost two-thirds
00:22
of those who walk alone at night feel unsafe, a sharp increase in just a few years. More
00:27
people are also taking extra steps to protect themselves, from avoiding certain streets
00:31
to carrying alarms. In Leeds, campaigners say more needs to be done to improve lighting
00:37
and tackle harassment so people feel safer. Some areas, including the city centre and
00:42
Hyde Park, have also seen higher reports of street harassment. There are also calls for
00:46
improved late-night transport to give people safer options for getting home.
00:51
Local businesses and venues are being encouraged to sign up for Safe Spaces initiatives, offering
00:56
shelter to anyone who feels at risk.
