University students say they are scared to walk home from a night out after the Nottingham attacks. Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Barnaby Webber were stabbed to death by Valdo Calocane as they walked towards their accommodation in Lenton down Ilkeston Road on June 13 last year.
Elle Leech, the union's welfare officer, agreed, adding: “It definitely did at the time, there was a feeling of unsafety and people were nervous about going on nights out, understandably." The pair were speaking at a Nottingham Night Time Safety Forum on Wednesday, March 27, which was arranged to discuss separate issues such as around clubs, safe spaces and spiking.
"There's a big issue of people being kicked out and there's no support," Hannah, from UoN Students Against Sexual Violence and Sexism, told the meeting. "We've had people kicked out and not able to pick up things like their phones. “We even here about bad instances with nightclub staff as well, like security. Students often feel they’ve been manhandled or touched inappropriately. There’s also the issue of students being kicked out for being ‘too drunk’ but actually there was an instance of spiking."
