To: Manchester City Council
Stop the muggings! Enough victims already!
Make the path to St Werburgh's Road tram stop safe.
Why is this important?
All of us who go to or exit the tram stop to the south have to pass through an alleyway with a blindspot.
The adjacent houses don't overlook the spot, they just hear the screaming and shouts for help.
It's a favourite spot for drug dealers, groups of men harassing women and for muggings to take place.
We've had enough!
We want to be able to walk home safely, or go to the tram stop safely.
You can't see who's around the corner till you are literally next to them.
The multiple exits down the alley way make for an excellent getaway for the muggers.
The metrolink camera only covers their path till it joins the alley way.
And that's where they are waiting for the next victim.
The only option is that Manchester City Council will put in a surveillance camera to secure this dangerous blind spot alleyway.
How many more reports does it take till we will get listened to?
Sign our petition and let the Council know that they have a duty of care.
Don't let your friends and family be the next victim.
This must be the only place where the path from the tram leads people into an unsafe alleyway, before they get to the road and pavement.
Together we can make it happen.
Let's put an end to having us walk into a hidden area where you can't see who's waiting for you.
The blindspot at the end of Sidbury Road to walk through the alleyway to get to the path to the tram has to be made safe.
Enough has happened already, join us and don't let your friends and family be the next victim.

How it will be delivered
We will deliver the petition to Manchester City Council and ask for a meeting.
We also want to give our local councillors an opportunity to join our campaign.
