Those of you who were at the most recent West/Central Area Committee will know that the committee approved a police priority aimed at reducing antisocial behaviour around the Fair Street/Burleigh Street/Fitzroy Street area.

Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Team
Tel: 01223 457950 – email: asbsection@cambridge.gov.uk
The ASB Team deal with ASB affecting Council properties, and ASB of all kinds affecting the wider community, including problems in public spaces. The Team works closely with other sections of the Council (like housing and environmental health) and other organisations (like the police). If we feel your issue will be better dealt with by another Council service or outside agency, we will help you in notifying these services.
Please remember, any information you provide will be treated in the strictest confidence. As a witness you will not be identified unless you have given us permission to do so.
