It was great to see all of those in attendance at Leeds Civic Hall last night standing up to say ‘enough is enough’! Everything has to change! It has to change now, for everyone’s sake.

It is heartbreaking that it takes the tragic death of another woman, Sarah Everard, for those in power to finally start listening to the calls for change. It is a cruel reality that in 2021 we are still having to demand that women should be able to walk home safely and live without fear that they may be targeted because of their gender.

We are here to listen to you and we are here to push those in power to ensure that the streets of Headingley & Hyde Park and the city as a whole are as safe as we can make them.

Liberal Democrat MP Daisy Cooper has explained why she believes this must be a watershed moment here.
