The safety of our community is my top priority as your local Member of Parliament. With the the nights becoming longer and darker, I know that some people may not feel safe using our public spaces and streets.
That is why I have launched my ‘Safe Space’ campaign for anyone who feels at risk walking home. If you a walking past a local business that has one of my Safe Space logos, then you can go in to the business and ask for help and the business will offer you a place of safety. The business owner will also give you somewhere to charge your phone, or call a taxi or the police, if necessary. I have also created a useful map of the local businesses that are taking part in the Safe Space campaign. |

How Safe Spaces works?
Step 1: Sign up using the form on the website. Step 2: You will receive a Safe Spaces package with a large sticker to display in your premise window and a poster with information to share with your employees about Safe Spaces. Step 3: In the event someone needs to use your premises as a place of safety, you provide them with facilities to charge their phone, call a taxi or 999 if necessary. Please note, that if someone is behaving violently towards a member of the public or your staff, always call 999. This campaign will make clear to the public that you are a business that supports the safety of all members of our community and the right of all to travel without fear of harassment or violence. I want us to work together to make our community – Balham, Earlsfield, Tooting and Furzedown – to be somewhere we all feel respected, welcome and safe. If you have any questions or would like to contact me, please call my team on: 020 3621 2509 or by email: [email protected] |
