Are you concerned about anti-social behaviour in Ripon?
North Yorkshire Police has launched a survey to try and tackle anti-social behaviour in Ripon.
The police have asked for as many people who live in Ripon as possible to respond so officers can decide on the next steps to take.
Ripon's anti-social behaviour have been in the spotlight for well over a year. Ripon City Council sought to join forces with the police in November 2020 but the problem has persisted.
This survey comes just a day after a 21-year-old man was jailed for his part in a knifepoint robbery, which he carried out during the day outside the Ship Inn on Bondgate.
The robber threatened a teenage boy with a knife and said if he "did not hand everything over, he would be shanked", York Crown Court heard yesterday.
North Yorkshire Police believe that anti-social behaviour is often caused by underage drinking so is working with Community Alcohol Partnerships on the survey.
