“Up the Wall” Project

 The “Up the Wall” project organized by PC David Buxton, Ambleside Community Beat Officer, was given a boost with a contribution from the Streetsafe Community fund. Police in Ambleside are continuing to tackle youth disorder and anti-social behavior by providing a second group of young people from the area with a free course of Friday night activities. Held in the University of Cumbria campus in Ambleside, the seven week “Up the Wall” program that started on Friday 6th February, provided the young people with training and experience on the climbing wall up until Easter.
