HUNDREDS of Islanders are too scared to visit St Helier at night and many of those who do fear for their safety, according to new figures.
As town nightspots prepare for the busy Christmas and New Year period, the Jersey Annual Social Survey has revealed that many Islanders fear walking the streets of St Helier after dark.
According to the survey, which is designed to be representative of the whole Island, 12 per cent of people do not visit town after dark because they don’t feel safe.
Twenty per cent of Islanders who do visit town at night ‘usually feel unsafe’, and a further five per cent ‘always feel unsafe’. (from JEP)

Such a shame ...
