Light The Way: Lighting only part of solution to help people feel safe in Glasgow parks meeting hears
Campaigners, politicians, business owners and charity leaders have been talking about putting lights in the city's parks at a meeting at Glasgow Caledonian University.
A Glasgow officer is encouraging people using the city's parks at night to carry a safety alarm and dial 999 when they see or hear something dangerous.
PC Callum Yuil has a background in community safety and attended the Light The Way meeting on Friday at Glasgow Caledonian University.
Light The Way: Senior Glasgow councillor pledges to look at ways of lighting up parks
He told Greatest Hits Radio: "Lighting alone is not the answer to eradicating all danger in these places after dark - it is part of a package of measures.
"Where you have lighting you would need community engagement and support to make sure the space is looked after.
"Officers patrol the likes of Kelvingrove, Queen's Park and Cranhill during the day and night in high visibility uniforms.
"I have also spent many a night in a more discrete form such as in plain clothes to detect and deter any behaviours we may have concerns about."
Pam Duncan-Glancy from Scottish Labour is a supporter of the campaign and says she would like to see ten key principles implemented to make parks safer for everyone at night.
"Business, staffing, visibility, escape, lighting, way-finding, belonging, image, access and engagement.
"All of these things are really important to help us work together to help us make the city a place where we can all enjoy it.
"We need to take everyone with us including those from the disabled, LGBTQ+ and BAME communities."
