PC Neil Slater who is Beat Manager for the Hull Road and Tang Hall area, and who organised the event, said: “As well as enforcement and cracking down on crime in the area, it’s good to engage with our communities. It means we can forge good relationships with young and older people as well as passing on our crime prevention advice and services.
