Hull City Council says it's looking at legal action to force the owners of the derelict Lord Line building (pictured) to make it more secure.
After a string of trespassing incidents, the council and emergency services wrote to Manor Property group asking them to improve security earlier this month but they've failed to to carry out the work by today's deadline.
The Manor Property Group haven't responded to our latest calls about the action but told us earlier in May that they have spent in excess of £200,000 on security at the site.
