Hull Group Tackles Crime with CCTV
2 Oct
Summary
- Men in Sheds Hull received council funding for CCTV.
- The funding aims to improve security in a public car park area.
- The area has faced daily anti-social behaviour and suspected drug dealing.
A community group dedicated to combating loneliness and fostering new skills has secured vital council funding for security enhancements. Men in Sheds Hull, operating from The Pavilion in Oak Road Playing Fields, has been granted up to £6,579 to install additional CCTV cameras in the public car park.
This measure is crucial as reports indicate the area suffers from near-daily anti-social behaviour, including suspected drug dealing and fly-tipping. The charity plans to use the funding to redevelop this neglected corner of the car park, transforming it into a more secure, vibrant, and beneficial space for the wider community.
The project highlights the significant contributions of Men in Sheds, recognized for volunteer time and community benefits. This initiative aligns with a national network of over 1,000 similar projects promoting connection and skill-sharing among members.
