Public sector news in brief

NOTTINGHAM: Nottingham City Council has launched a two-week push to tackle curb-crawlers. The ad-led campaign warns curb-crawlers of arrest and potential registration on Nottinghamshire Police Force’s sex-offender register. The push is part of a wider campaign, ‘Respect Nottingham’, which addresses anti-social behaviour in the city. This year, police have so far arrested eight times more curb-crawlers than last year, a council spokesman said.
