The council’s Neighbourhood Nuisance team works with residents to solve issues that affect their communities. The team receives around 3,500 reports a year, and deal with around 1,300 perpetrators of antisocial behaviour.
They have 19 enforcement officers working across the city, and work closely with Humberside Police to resolve and tackle problems faced by individuals and communities.
Cllr Linda Tock, whose portfolio includes antisocial behaviour and community safety, said: “Not Where I Live Week is about focussing on residents. It’s a chance for them to speak to our teams, as well as police, ask questions and find out what we do to keep communities safe.
“Knowing where and when antisocial 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. Residents can report antisocial behaviour in our communities anonymously and in a number of ways.
“There are surgeries, stalls and drop ins, as well as council officers and police out and about in different neighbourhoods across the city all week. If you’re not able to make it to one of the events, you’re encouraged to make a report online or over the phone”.
If you are experiencing anti-social behaviour you can report it here: Antisocial behaviour | Hull City Council or call (01482) 300300. The internet can be accessed for free at all council libraries and customer service centres.
