Rejected petition Make Finsbury Park station and surrounding areas safe.Urgent action required.

My friend and I were pursued and intimidated at Finsbury Park station near the entrance to Parkland Walk when exiting the station.Cases of harassment in the area are on the increase and people are made to feel unsafe using the station because of it. It needs addressing and quickly.
