“There’s not enough places for us to play.”

Some people think that there aren't enough places in Hull to play or things to do.

Hull City Council is building more playgrounds and putting on more out of school and holiday activities. They’re trying to make the roads safer by putting in road humps and slowing cars down and cleaning up parks.

“I wish we could make bullying stop”

Bullying needs to be stopped. It is wrong and shouldn’t happen. How is your school stopping bullying?

Hull City Council has a team of people to work with schools to help them stop bullying. Call 0800 9154545 for more details.
