Complaints received from local businesses and members of the public regarding ASB through begging and street drinking in Hull City Centre leading to people feeling unsafe.

Ongoing partnership work with Council, HullBid, and local business to address the problem. A number of individuals have received community protection warnings/notices and are now in the process of referring repeat offenders to court to obtain Criminal Behaviour Orders.

A number of drugs warrants have been issued and executed in the area, resulting in arrests and drugs seizures. We are still developing a further intelligence and information picture of this priority. We would urge the public to report any suspicious directly to Police via 101 or online.

We have now been able to access funding which has provided a static Civic CCTV camera in the area of Vane Street.

An Audit has been conducted in the area which has suggested that foliage from trees and bushes needed to be cut back to allow more visibility. The council have completed this, which appears to have had the desired impact.

Increase police patrols in the area, both high visible e and plain clothes has led to a number of arrests. This proactive police approach continues and a reduction in the reports and demand in the area is being seen.

We will continue to monitor the situation and police the area. Humber Talking with local residents has seen an increase in police confidence and reports back have been positive and led to more information sharing.

Complaints received from local businesses and members of the public regarding ASB through begging and street drinking in Hull City Centre leading to people feeling unsafe.

This matter has not been as problematic within the city centre in Summer 2024 as it was in previous years. This is partly due to the Operation Luscombe process explained above. However, the Neighbourhood team also continues to work closely with licencing departments and routinely check licenced premises, ensuring conditions are adhered to. This includes the introduction of a reduced ABV and the sale of single cans. Premises are also reminded of the conditions not to serve to those known to be intoxicated or previously, from knowledge, committed ASB whilst under the influence.

We continue to utilise Principles of Operation Luscombe. An initiative first introduced by The City of London in 2018. The operation uses a traffic light four-stage warning system to encourage those found begging or street drinking to seek support for their often complex needs as a longer-term problem solving initiative, using anti-social behaviour legislation, as opposed to making arrests, with recognition given that the offenders are often vulnerable and should also be considered as victims. To date we have been very successful in our approach with 51 Green tickets issues, 13 Amber Tickets and 8 Red Tickets issued. We currently have been granted 2x Criminal Behaviour orders and are seeking a further two more which should be heard by courts in October 2024.

Police, alongside Council are also working on a public consultation to increase powers of the current Public Space Protection Order, which will again allow further powers to tackle this complex issue.

This issue has not been widely reported by the public in the summer months as being problematic. However, with the weather conditions changing we know from historical data that this will once again become an issue. Police work closely with council on the issues and together are looking for more ways to tackle the issue.

This is once again, a very complex issue and requires a sensitive approach but ultimately we aim to protect the pubic against harm and in doing so aim to address concerns highlighted to us. We utilise Luscombe principles but are working closely with Outreach, Renew and The Changing futures HUB to offer the relevant support to those we encounter.

We also report any issues to council clean up teams and urge the public to report the same.

Council are looking at a number of long term solutions to address this continuing issue.

Council are looking at a number of long term solutions to address this continuing issue.

Ongoing reports of drug taking and dealing within Waterloo Park. Alongside this reports of persons on Sur-Ron bikes being ridden in the area in an Anti-Social manner.

Officers are in the area in both uniform and plain clothes conducting stop searches on key individuals. A number of arrests have been made, however we are aware that this is just a short term fix. We will continue speaking with local residents to obtain new information and evidence in relation to the ongoing issues.

In partnership with the local authority we will be completing an audit of the area and will be recommending a number of environmental changes to assist in the long term problem solving aspect by increasing visibility, target hardening the area and increasing confidence of the local community to report these matters to the police. Alongside this partners are considering funding for regeneration projects in the area, including the use of new council CCTV.

We have made over 10 arrests within the park for drug related offences. We will continue to monitor the area and patrol on a regular basis. A closure order is being prepared in relation to a nearby house suspected of supplying drugs in the location. Working alongside council we will look to ensure direct enforcement is taken on the occupants and those attending the address.
