Kirkgate Park (by Leeds Minster and Mecca Bingo) is a completely unlit park and as provides criminals a veil of invisibility. The area is no longer safe at night time and this shouldn’t go on. I am writing to my MP and police commissioner about increasing lighting in the area and ask for your support in this matter.
Thanks for reading.

I am currently gathering all these signatures to present them directly to the local police commissioner this week. Please email your local council representatives today to demand new lighting fixtures for our park. We need to keep the pressure on them until the work begins.

ABOUT TIME the council did something. The place is pitch black at night and totaly sketchy.
Very dangerous area at night. Lots of young men and women walking this very unsafe route home at night.
I have been here before during my trip to Leeds from the United States... on my next visit It would be great to have a safer environment to spend time in.
I work next to the park and it is a crime hotspot on both sides of the park additional lighting and cameras should be added as a deterrent.
no one should be attacked on the streets of Leeds or anywhere. No doubt the criminals have gotten away with this and thus will continue to use this area to commit more crimes in the very near future.
I feel unsafe enough in this area during the daytime.
It's not to safe walking around there

I used to walk through there all the time but now i avoid it completely when it gets dark. Its just asking for trouble with no lights at all.
