- Making CBDs Safer
- Problems
- CBDs increasingly perceived as threatening environments
- Movement and action of certain groups of people, especially women are constrained by fear
- Safer transport system
- Seperate compartments on trains or night buses for women
- Priority taxis after 10pm for women, known as the 'Lady Cab' service in Manchester.
- Formal licensing of mini cabs in cities so all private hire vehicles are regulated and registered.
- Improvements to the street environment
- Widespread CCTV cameras to monitor crime
- Better maintenance of street lighting
- Help points at key locations such as underground train stations, with emergency alarms directly connected to local police.
- Smoother pavements, few obstancles and better enforcement of on-kerb parking to help women with prams, and also improving disability access.
- Extra seating in public areas
- Transparent bus shelters to prevent people hiding behind them
- Cutting hedges at top and bottoms to increase light and safety.
- Better lighting and the privison of ground floor women-only sections in multistory car parks.
- Problems
