SAFE NIGHTS OUT
We are fortunate to have vibrant and
diverse hospitality businesses across
Leicestershire and Rutland.
I want everyone to enjoy a night out
in Leicester city centre, on local high
streets, in our town and village centres
knowing they will be safe.
RORY PALMER
I will fund and support targeted campaigns to tackle
heinous crimes like drink spiking. I will work in
partnership with businesses, licensed premises and
local authorities to ensure localised approaches to
improving safety around the night time economy.
Safety on nights out is a particular concern raised by
students. I want students to enjoy their university
experience in Leicester and Loughborough. Our
three universities are an integral and important part
of the community. I will establish a new partnership
board on student safety and security with the
three universities, students’ unions and college
representatives.
