A multiagency group has been launched to help women and girls feel safer in North Herts and I welcome this important initiative.

Consisting of North Herts Police, North Herts Council, Herts Fire and Rescue Service and local housing association, settle, the new group will be utilising the Government’s online tool StreetSafe.  This allows people to flag locations where they do not feel safe in areas where they live and work.  Aimed at women and girls, members of the public can anonymously drop a pin onto a map and describe any factors that cause them to feel unsafe in areas where they live and work using the website www.herts.police.uk/notices/street-safe/street-safe/
