Hyde Park is one of the most dangerous areas in Leeds. This is a central student area, and with the days getting darker a lot earlier, many students have to walk home after dark. Why not supply Hyde Park with street lamps and make the place safer to walk through at night for everyone There have been countless attacks there after nightfall - most particularly on young girls and woman. This needs to be stoped, and anyone who thinks that adding lighting to the pitch-dark park would help prevent this should sign this petition!

The first thing that was said on the first day of university as a fresher in Leeds was how dangerous Hyde park was and not to go through on a night or on your own. I have heard of many incidents which have happened in Hyde park and would not like it to happen to me, my friends or family members.

About time something was done. The park is pitch black and it just feels like a magnet for trouble. Just put some lamps up already!

I refuse to walk through there after 5pm in the winter, its way too sketchy. My housemate got followed last month and we are all so paranoid now.

Living in Hyde Park is great but the park itself is a massive issue. Everyone knows to stay away after dark but we really shouldnt have to live like that.
