Park security measures improved to cut crime

Security has been improved at a park in East Yorkshire in a bid to tackle anti-social behaviour and crime.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council said opaque brick walls and thin metal sheeting had been replaced by a new fence to improve visibility and deter vandalism in Dukes Park, Bridlington.

The fencing runs from the spectator entrance at the football ground to Carlton Street and the work is part of a wider effort to improve the quality of life for residents.

Helena Moss, head of regeneration and funding at the council, said the improvements aimed to "increase pride of place and make people feel safer".

The council has been working with Humberside Police and other organisations to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour in the town since 2023.

Earlier this month, police urged residents to report the illegal use of off-road motorbikes.

Officers warned the bikes could be dangerous and damage property, as well as having a negative impact on residents.
