Tighten security checks upon entry into venues. Edinburgh, Scotland
I am starting this petition in relation to the recent spiking uprising in venues and clubs. While this issue only personally affects me in Edinburgh, as I am a student at the University of Edinburgh, this is not at all a local issue.
I want to urge people to reach out to clubs and management teams to bring this issue to light, and the more this issue is spoken about, hopefully, security checks upon entry in these venues will be stricter, preventing people from bringing in "date rape drugs", making both women and men safer in their environments.
