Purpose

We’re carrying out a targeted engagement exercise to understand what more we could be doing to ensure that our public spaces are safe spaces for all women and girls.

The survey will allow us to better understand the concerns, perceptions and experiences of women and girls in Lambeth. This will allow us to identify public spaces where they may not feel very safe, what improvements are needed, and to communicate what we have done to address these concerns.

Your feedback will allow us to prioritise what actions to take to help women and girls feel safer in our public spaces. For example, this could include improvements to street lighting, more CCTV cameras, or better signage. The information will also inform our discussions with the Police.

The Commonplace site which is a map-based tool allows you to drop a pin on the specific location you’re referring to and answer a few questions relating to that location. If you provide your email address, a dedicated officer can respond and please continue to check the site to read what actions we have taken in response to feedback.

This survey is supported by the Home Office's Safer Streets Funding and is part of the work the Council is doing to address all forms of violence against women and girls (VAWG) so we can make Lambeth a borough where everyone is safe.

Learn more about this work in our VAWG Strategy 2021-27 and this short animation.

Get your neighbours involved

The more people involved in sharing their experiences, the better the needs of the whole community will be reflected.
