A campaign to tackle violence against woman around the public transport network has been expanded with a large cash injection.
The Safer Streets Liverpool campaign has received £576,000 to improve women's feelings of safety around the transport network in Liverpool. There will be an increased uniformed presence around transport hubs in the early hours of Friday, Saturday and midweek student dedicated nights.
The funding will also see the introduction of 21 CCTV cameras along the main bus route used by young people, a development of safe spaces in transport hubs, and 'street pastors' to provide support for helping people get home. Today's cash boost sees the total funding secured for the Safer Streets campaign in the region rise to almost £3m.
