A free app that aims to keep people safe while walking and taking public transport is being rolled out across a city.
The WalkSafe app has gone live in Manchester and helps users to pick safe travel routes, sharing their location and alerting friends and family if they do not reach their destination.
The app, which also features a map of safe spaces in the city, has been backed by Manchester City Council.
WalkSafe co-founder Emma Kay said it was “an essential ally to let us all enjoy our lives and go where we want, when we want”.
