So as one of my manifesto points I stated that I would create area safety maps of the main student areas in Swansea to put them online and in printed out versions. And after a little delay, they are almost ready!

I have sectioned out areas that have a high student population such as: Brynmill, Hendrefoelan, Killay, Sketty and Uplands. These maps point out where the key interest / safety points in these areas are. The information points I thought to be most relevant were: Phone booths, taxi ranks, free cash points, faith venues, pharmacies, doctors and dentists and bus stops that go to town, uni or the other student areas.

The reasoning behind this was for student safety and general interest. Not many students know the areas they live in very well until the end of the year, these maps will hopefully speed up that process and let you guys know your areas quicker and easier.

Knowing where services such as free cash points and phone booths are can be very useful if you are unfamiliar with the area and your phone battery has died knowing where these key points are can help you get home quicker and safer.

The maps will be released in the Waterfront have now started to be put online.
