From January to October this year, street marshals dealt with 178 incidents, ranging from antisocial behaviour to medical emergencies.
Councillor John Hewitt, portfolio holder for neighbourhoods and communities, said: "The marshals have proved invaluable in the city centre in assisting the police in reducing violent crime and antisocial behaviour.
"The scheme is going from strength to strength and I am pleased we have been able to continue the service across the Christmas period when the city centre will be full of people wanting to enjoy a safe night out in a friendly environment and the street marshals assist in making this possible."
