TWO YEARS AGO, ORCHARD PARK WAS DESCRIBED AS 'THE WILD WEST' - WE WENT BACK TO SEE HOW IT IS NOW THANKS TO POLICE INITIATIVES

I visited city estate that has 'massively improved' alongside Humberside Police

I SPENT an afternoon with Humberside Police's Sergeant Andy Waller in one of Hull's most deprived areas to see how police and community initiatives are tackling antisocial behaviour and petty crime.

Orchard Park is sadly an area with a troubled reputation. For example, when Hull Live visited two years ago, it was known as being like “the wild west” and buses and taxis would not visit certain areas.

In recent years, a series of police, council and community initiatives have sought to improve the area and its reputation. Better yet, according to people in the estate, it’s working.
