Earlier this year, Eastbourne introduced a new initiative to enhance nighttime safety in the town. The Night Safety Marshals, a team working in collaboration with the police and other partners, has been established to ensure the well-being of individuals during the evening hours.
In just a few months, the initiative has shown promising results. The marshals have aided over 70 women and 30 men who found themselves in vulnerable situations, assisting them in reconnecting with friends and family, reaching out to the police, or safely returning home.
