Progress on park security

John Fareham and John Abbott report that progress is being made in respect of security in parks including Cropton Park.

John Fareham says, “The Council have decided that from July repairs to park equipment will be carried out in-house by Streetscene staff rather than by employees of the Council’s arms-length company Hull Culture and Leisure. A new ordering and inspection process is being introduced which should achieve economies of scale as equipment needs to be replaced and improve response time in cases of vandalism. Perhaps most indicative, however, is the insistence by members of all three parties that the plan for a task-and-finish panel to look into park security, a plan which we proposed last year, should now be put into effect.
