00:00In Hyde Park, there's been, I think, petitions for like years to get streetlights through the middle of it.
00:05And they still haven't done anything about it, because it's more like, it's the most direct route home as well.
00:11Especially in the darker months, and everyone that I know will go the long way around it, so they don't have to go through the middle.
00:17I think that there is still that worrying concern of going anywhere on your own, really, as a woman, in the night time especially.
00:26I wouldn't walk in the park alone dark at night, I just don't think that's a very sensible idea.
00:30However, we live in Roundhay, it's a really nice area, so I've always felt safe walking along the streets.
00:36I probably wouldn't stick to anywhere that wasn't well lit, but I think that's again just common sense.
00:41I've never had to reach out to the police if I felt unsafe, but I would feel comfortable.
00:46I think the only concern I would have is if it would take a long time for the police to get to me.
00:50I think it was ingrained into me when I was young, really, to just don't, as a woman on your own, just don't do it.
00:57Which is wrong, it's just not okay.
