Vandals Threaten Hostel’s Future

A historic hostel in Yorkshire’s East Riding is under threat from anti-social behaviour, according to a story in the Hull Daily Mail. Vandals attracted to a disused factory are crossing a nearby railway bridge and attacking Beverley Friary YH and its customers’ property. Matlock have apparently delivered an ultimatum:

The youth hostel at Beverley Friary is also understood to be concerned about anti-social behaviour.

Cllr Harold said: “The Youth Hostel Association has said if it gets any worse they will pull out.

One possible solution would be to remove the bridge, though that seems harsh on those that need to use it. Other possibilities include CCTV cameras or – good heavens – some policemen.

Whatever the burghers of Beverley come up with, let’s hope they’re able to swing into action before YHA makes good its threat. Beverley is a fabulous hostel: a truly historic building mentioned in the Canterbury Tales, situated in a charming little town.

If you haven’t been there yet, you might want to start making plans before it’s too late. Just be careful where you park…
