University/City Liaison
The University produces an information leaflet for residents (students and otherwise) that should be widely distributed in areas where there is a significant student population.
From discussion at a meeting of the University City Liaison Committee last week, it appears that it did not get out as much as it should have. So if you either did not receive it or have lost it, here it is (courtesy of the University):
University Community Liaison Leaflet
One important piece of information contained in it is the Community Hotline number, Durham 334 2222, where residents can ring in to report student-related issues or problems that are affecting their area.
The University Community Patrol is willing to investigate nuisance issues and try to resolve them amicably - they are usually successful. Remember though that serious incidents involving crime or public disorder should always be reported to the police.
[The University City Liaison Committee meets once each term to look at issues involving students in the community. Around the table are university officials, local councillors, representatives of community associations, students and the police.]
