A councillor has called for more resources to be put into rural policing after a rise in anti-social behaviour in her town.
Coun Suzanne Fairless-Aitken represents Hexham East on Northumberland County Council, and said there had been an increase in reports of disorder in the town.
Just last year, the town regained its title of happiest place to live according to Rightmove, having previously won the honour in 2019.
