Action has been promised after concerns were raised over alleged attacks on firefighters and anti-social behaviour at the site of a former Sunderland police station.
Farringdon Hall Police Station, off Primate Road, has been empty since 2015, when it was closed by Northumbria Police due to budget cuts.
The site has since become a hotspot for anti-social behaviour (ASB) and despite hopes redevelopment plans could reverse the trend, fears have once again been raised by Northumbria Police and Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service over the number of incidents at the site.
