There are urgent calls for Cardiff Council to maximise lighting at two of Cardiff\u2019s most popular parks following the death of Sarah Everard in South London this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A petition<\/a> to protect Cardiff\u2019s runners, walkers and commuters at Pontcanna and Llandaff Fields has gained almost 1,500 signatures since Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24-year-old Elinor Toogood from Llandaf started the petition and says she doesn\u2019t feel safe running or walking in the evenings, \u201cSarah Everard looked like she\u2019d done everything right. She called her boyfriend, she wore trainers. This should be enough. But it\u2019s not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t go out to exercise in the night. It\u2019s much too dark.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
