Events across city to tackle anti-social behaviour

Hull residents concerned about anti-social behaviour are being invited to a series of drop-in events across the city.

Council, police and fire service representatives will be at the Not Where I Live Week sessions, with people able to raise their concerns about any ongoing issues.

Hull City Council leader Mike Ross said the events were a chance for residents to "provide extra opportunities to tell us about any issues".

The authority said its neighbourhood nuisance team received about 3,500 reports a year of anti-social behaviour, and dealt with about 1,300 people creating a nuisance.

"Creating safe and welcoming neighbourhoods is one of our priorities now and for the coming decade," said Ross.

"We know how important this is to people, and part of it is ensuring we tell people about the help available and how to get it."

The first event is at Northpoint Shopping Centre on Tuesday between 10:00 and 12:00 BST.

A list of the other events can be found on the council's website.
