Safer Parks Consultation

Women’s Lives Leeds

Launching various opportunities to share your views

Women’s Lives Leeds would like to invite women to have their say around parks, park safety and what kind of activities you would like to see in the park for women. Activities will then be delivered in each park according to what women want.

The consultation is part of the national Safer Streets government project and the research will feed into local and national channels.

You will receive a £15 voucher for your time

Two Leeds Parks have been selected- Holbeck Moor and Woodhouse Moor.

We are hosting two focus groups in each park area.

Focus groups will last approximately an hour but we ask women to arrive fifteen minutes prior to register and to get tea/coffee etc.

Focus groups not your thing but still want to take part?

In addition to the focus groups, Women’s Lives Leeds are working with Leeds University to run one to one interview research sessions, where any woman in Leeds can take part.

These are not fixed to opinions around any particular park but are about how women feel in any park space and what could be done to improve her sense of safety.

These interviews are being held in offices on York Road just outside Leeds. Support is available for transportation and women will also receive £15 for their time.

The interviews are expected to last an hour.

The dates for the interviews are on Wednesday 16th February and Wednesday 2nd March 2022

If you are interested in taking part in the one to one interview research or have any queries please contact jackieo@womenslivesleeds.org.uk or call 07741 552499.
