00:00Hello and welcome to Manchester World, my name's Theo Kusinvett and today we're going to be talking
00:03about walking at night and how to feel safer. A company called Strut Safe that has a helpline
00:09for those walking through the streets at night have reported an increase in calls over recent
00:13months. We want to know if people in Manchester have noticed an increase in them feeling a bit
00:17more uncomfortable when they're walking around at night and what they do to feel safe. I think
00:21for me personally I don't do it by myself, it's like that. I normally have to have someone with
00:28me for, yeah, I haven't really done it much by myself. So I've got a friend here and he
00:34regularly contacts Strut Safe when he's walking home at night and, you know, I feel like it really
00:40gives him a sense of, you know, safety. You'll walk past groups of people that are like drunk
00:45or rowdy. I phone my boyfriend quite a lot to just have someone on the end of the line at least
00:54in case anything like out of hand happens. Got someone that knows where you are.
