Susannah and Jacalyn as Ashford residents attended the community Reclaim the Streets March in Ashford on 6th March to raise awareness for the need for Safer Streets.\u00a0 The march went from Victoria Park, along Station Road, through to the Bandstand in the High Street, during the early evening to highlight the fact that many women feel that there is a curfew after dark.\u00a0 The march was well attended\u00a0 for a cold and dark March evening by the local community making a statement about how women need to feel safe when we go out.\u00a0 The date was also significant due to International Womens Day on the following Tuesday.<\/p>\n

At the Bandstand, speeches were given by Cllr Lyn Suddards who organised the event along side some of the other female councillors, she\u00a0 mentioned the fear that was expressed when Sarah Everard’s body was found close to Ashford after her horrific murder.<\/p>\n

Sam Griffin who gave a heart wrenching speech about the impact of the equally horrific murder of her cousin PCSO Julia James in May 2021 in Snowdon,\u00a0 how the her life was viewed differently to Sarah’s by the general public.\u00a0 Julia had local connections with Ashford as she previously worked in Ashford.\u00a0 We were encouraged to think about how we can educate everyone to challenge unacceptable behaviour and educate boys and men to support us.<\/p>\n

Tracey Kerly, Chief Executive of Ashford Borough Council spoke about improvements made in Ashford Town Centre following the successful award of \u00a3500,000 to make the streets of Ashford safer particularly for women and girls.\u00a0 This has meant increased CCTV, removal of hedges and replacing with fencing in the memorial gardens, the potential development of a mobile phone app showing the safe routes, as well as additional spending on personal safety equipment, and training for the community<\/p>\n

The final speech was from The Bishop of Dover, Rt Rev Rose Hudson-Wilkin, who inspired us with her story of the mouse and how it is everyone’s business to help each other.\u00a0 The evening closed with some music.<\/p>\n
