People say the measures are 'definitely' needed
Nottinghamshire's Police and Crime Commissioner has insisted that Warsop is not a dangerous place as several new projects are announced focused on the safety of women and girls there. But one business owner says the new projects are "definitely" needed and that being in the town late at night at the moment can be "horrendous".
"Something that also helps the feeling of safety though is when an area looks as though it is loved, such as if it has got improved lighting and the streets are looking tidier. So it is also about doing joined up work with our partners in the council and other agencies to improve the area more generally."
Inspector Kylie Davies, the District Commander for Mansfield, said: "There could be a situation where a woman is walking down the street at night and a male is making her feel uncomfortable. She would be able to go into one of these safe spaces and they would have the training to be able to support her.
