One of Sunderland’s main parks is to be made safer and more inclusive for women and young girls in a new initiative.

Mowbray Park is included in a park safety overhaul underway across the North East with better lighting, cutting back vegetation to aid visibility and designated help points linked to control rooms among a host of improvements being made.

It is hoped this will help address safety concerns brought to light by local women, as part of Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner Kim McGuinness’ Safer Streets survey.
