Cardiff has always been a safe city, but after three sex attacks in five days residents are on high alert.

In light of the attacks Cardiff authorities have teamed up with local taxi companies to ensure people get home safely at night.

Cardiff University has set up a safe-taxi scheme with Dragon Taxis

Schemes include Cardiff University’s safe-taxi scheme, and taxi marshals from Cardiff council being on hand to assist the public from 8pm-4am on weekends.

However, despite this, there has been a surge in complaints about taxi drivers refusing customers – especially those living close to the city centre

Cardiff Council has urged people to report incidents in order to take matters to court and said: “If we don’t receive this information, we cannot act.”

Is enough being done to keep Cardiff safe at night? Let’s ask the locals.
