Dark Skies or Safer Streets

We need a holistic approach!

I think we need to have a holistic approach. One of the things I’ve seen is a publication called Get Home Safe – Safe by Design by Women for Women published April 21 a thought piece for the better planning and design of our urban streets, to make it safer for women. This publictaion looks at the first and last ‘mile’ from a what that actually means with where you are / how you approach things • How I plan my route • What do I wear? • Do I call / text people on my journey? • How does the environment make me feel?

I think a major part of the issue is that lighting is treated as a separate entity, when really it’s a fundamental service we are providing for people within those environments.
