Cardiff Council\u2019s Cabinet will discuss ways to make the city safer and more welcoming for residents and visitors this Thursday.<\/p>\n

A new Public Service Board (PSB) strategy that aims to improve transport options, prevent crime and disorder, while improving the city\u2019s night-time economy will be debated this week. It is hoped the new strategy will help Cardiff obtain a Purple Flag<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This comes after a recent resident survey revealed that less than half of females and those who identify as disabled feel safe at night. Two thirds of men surveyed said they felt safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

This confused Harry Jade (24). Harry said, \u201cI feel that you are a lot more likely to get started on if you are a guy! Groups of lads are always looking for a scrap, especially when alcohol is involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all down to alcohol really,\u201d Harry continued. \u201cCardiff is a social city. There is a club night held every day of the week. Of course there is going to be fights and noise and chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alex Rake (21) is not surprised woman don\u2019t feel safe. \u201cIt is scary, even when you\u2019re in a group. I don\u2019t finish work until 11, then I have to walk through the city centre. Men always shout at me, some are twice my age! We\u2019re all guilty of being loud when we\u2019re drunk, but don\u2019t aim it at individuals walking alone,\u201d Alex said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Councillor Lynda Thorne, Cabinet member for Community and Housing, is committed to tackling these issues. She said that a key part of Cardiff\u2019s attraction is its night-time economy, shown by the \u00a3400m it turns over.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe night-time economy has improved significantly over recent years but Cardiff cannot be seen purely as a party city,\u201d says Lynda. \u201cWe have to aspire to more than this by offering a varied night-time economy which caters for a broad range of ages, offering a mix as good as other major European capitals. This is what this strategy is all about.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
