Safer Hull Pod arrives in Queen Victoria Square

A new Safer Hull Pod has arrived in Hull’s Queen Victoria Square this week, providing people with support from local services.

The initiative was launched by the Hull Community Safety Partnership.

It will provide access to a range of services including Hull City Council’s Neighbourhood Nuisance Team, Humberside Police, Hull BID, Renew and Emmaus.

Councillor Mike Thompson, Portfolio Holder for neighbourhoods and communities said:

“We are working in partnership, to create safe, healthy environments where people and businesses can thrive.

“As lockdown lifts we want to reassure people that the Pod is available to support the community and tackling vulnerability.”

Hull residents are encouraged to visit the pod to get advice on a huge range of topics from reporting crime and antisocial behaviour to fire safety advice.

Advice is also available for Hull’s most vulnerable people.

Kathryn Shillito, Hull BID said:

“City centre businesses have been reassured by the presence of the pod previously, which provides an additional tier in keeping the city safe and secure.

“Anecdotally, we have received many comments about its effectiveness, as it offers a visual deterrent which discourages those out to cause disruption, but it also provides the general public with a greater sense of security.”

The police pod, which previously stood in Queen Victoria Square, has now moved to Ellerburn Avenue in Orchard Park
