Install lighting in South Park and on Pullen's Lane.
Install more appropriate lighting in South Park and along Pullen's lane. These areas are very poorly lit, if at all, and students have felt unsafe walking across and spending time in these areas, especially later at night, for years.
Covid restrictions have meant that lectures are more staggered, this means that some students have been forced to travel back to their accommodation late at night, thus putting them at a higher risk. This of course extends to all vulnerable members of the Oxford and Headington communities, but in particular young women, as the recent, preventable, horrifying event at Clapham Common highlights.
