WalkSafe
We are continuing our partnership with WalkSafe, a free personal safety app that maps safe spaces. Among others, Hammersmith’s designated safe spaces may include security staff and ‘Ask for Angela’-trained staff, showcasing local organisations that champion safety.

Pavement Slogans
Following the launch of its street harassment public spaces protection order (PSPO), Hammersmith & Fulham Council have begun applying ‘No More Sexual Harassment’ slogans to local pavements. To raise awareness of the No More Sexual Harassment campaign and highlight where incidents can be reported, the mottos will appear on pavements near town centres, transport hubs and football clubs.
