Restore funding for Night Safety Marshals in East Sussex

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the UK Government to restore funding for Night Safety Marshals operating across East Sussex.
These marshals help manage the night-time economy, assist vulnerable people, prevent violence and support police and emergency services in busy nightlife areas.

Funding cuts linked to the Home Office may lead to the removal of Night Safety Marshals in East Sussex.
These marshals play an important role in preventing incidents, helping intoxicated or vulnerable people get home safely, and supporting local police. Removing them could negatively impact public safety and the night-time economy.
