Youth projects in North Lincolnshire will benefit from funding for a scheme to reduce anti-social behaviour.

The community response fund, run by Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner Jonathan Evison, allocates cash to tackle local issues.

Proposals include a new youth hub in Barton-upon-Humber and street-dancing classes in Crowle.

Projects in East Yorkshire including Beverley, Hornsea and Goole could also benefit from the fund.

Each project could receive up to £10,000 cash, with Bridlington getting up to £17,500.

Funding was previously allocated to an arts outreach programme in Winterton and sport sessions in Immingham.

Mr Evison said: "We have already seen successes in other locations and I look forward to similar results in this latest round of funding.

"In each area, projects have been selected that will engage with young people and provide positive activities to reduce anti-social behaviour."

Crowle was one of the areas selected due to an increase in anti-social behaviour.

Earlier this month, officers dispersed a group of more than 80 youths who had gathered for "a planned fight".

'Sports and gaming'

Police in Barton have also reported issues with youths causing problems around local shops and at the town's bus station.

The youth hub in Barton would be open one night a week initially and provide a range of activities, including sports and gaming, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

The street-dancing classes in Crowle would be held at the town's community centre.

The public has until 26 February to vote on whether they support these and the other proposals.

Mr Evison is also hosting an anti-social behaviour event in North Ferriby on 5 March.
