The measure is one of the recommendations made by a group of councillors which has been exploring how to reduce the risk of sex attacks in the city
All of the suggestions from Preston City’s Council’s crime and disorder committee – which also include better street lighting in some areas – have now been accepted by the authority’s cabinet. However, a city business group leader has stressed that Preston has been recognised for its night-time safety record for more than 10 years.
Amongst the committee’s other proposals in its work plan study report into combating sexual violence were pop-up toilets – to address the lack of public conveniences in the city centre at night – along with improved lighting close to nightclubs like Blitz and The Warehouse. They said that it may be possible to increase “the intensity” of existing lighting in other areas highlighted by the councillors, but stressed that it would have to be carried out by Lancashire County Council, which – as the highways authority – would also have to bear the cost.
In response to the study, Preston’s Business Improvement District manager, Mark Whittle, said that the organisation had made “a significant investment into the city’s new CCTV infrastructure” in recent years. “Whilst such preventative measures are to be welcomed, official statistics show that the city centre does not have worrying issues in this regard.
