The night-time closure of Boston's Central Park has more than halved police call-outs! 🚓🌳
Boston's Central Park is set to continue its night-time closure for at least two more years, following a successful reduction in crime and anti-social behaviour.
The report reveals a significant decrease in police call-outs since the initiation of the night-time closure in September 2021. "The relief, peace and quiet this reduction must have had for residents living adjacent to Central Park is something that we must continue with going forward, therefore my recommendation will be to continue with this valuable service going forward.”
