Hull City Council Launches Initiative to Address Anti-Social Behaviour

Communities in Hull are being urged to take action against anti-social behaviour. Hull City Council is conducting a series of drop-in sessions designed to listen to residents’ concerns and showcase the efforts underway to resolve the problem. The authority indicated that its neighbourhood nuisance team processes approximately 3,500 reports of anti-social behaviour each year. Councillor Linda Tock, whose portfolio encompasses anti-social behaviour and community safety, described the sessions as an opportunity for residents to pose questions and discuss the challenges impacting their specific areas. “Knowing where and when anti-social behaviour is happening is vital to tackling it, so a big part of the week is encouraging people to talk to us about it, and giving them chances to do so,” she added. The city has recently seen numerous reports of anti-social behaviour, including incidents around a derelict church on Beverley Road and within an estate located in east Hull. These drop-in sessions are being held at various sites across the city and will continue until Friday. Residents can also submit reports of anti-social behaviour through online channels or by telephone.
