Safer streets for the elderly, disabled, women, children

I would like to see local council run surveys to ask their residents what would make the local streets and parks safer for elderly, disabled, women and children.

Pre covid, we had real issues with school children being mugged in the town centre and parks, during covid, we have a new network of LTNs that is making many streets much quieter and it is worsening the perception (and reality?) of safety, particularly when walking home after school or in the dark.

I disagree. I think LTNs are making the streets safer.
The biggest danger when walking the streets is that posed by motor traffic. Reducing rat runs, and reducing the speed of traffic, has made the streets much safer for pedestrians...
