Asda Shoppers have had their say on whether a new police hub has improved ongoing problems with aggressive beggars outside the store. The community hub opened on November 16 last year in a bid to tackle problems and increase police presence to reassure shoppers.
Nottingham City Council, which helped establish the hub alongside Nottinghamshire Police and Asda, say the hub is used regularly by community protection officers and that there has been a "large drop" in the number of complaints since it opened. The hub is funded by Asda and is located right outside the hub's entrance.
Just over six months on, people doing their shopping at the store on Radford Road say they do occasionally still feel intimidated, with others saying they would like to see police in the hub more often than they do now.
