Anti-Social Behaviour in East Cambridgeshire
Anti-social behaviour can include the following:
- Harassment
- Verbal or Physical abuse
- Vandalism and graffiti
- Noise Nuisance
- Selling drugs
- Drinking whilst underage
- Litter and rubbish dumping
- Nuisance driving
- Anti-social behaviour can significantly reduce the quality of life of residents. The Community Safety Partnership recognises this, and has made anti-social behaviour one of its strategy priorities.
The East Cambridgeshire Community Safety Partnership has also appointed an Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Co-Ordinator to help tackle individuals causing these types of problems. In the first instance, any anti-social behaviour incident should be reported to him. If the incident is a crime, then it should also be reported to the Police. You can complete an Incident Report Form (available for download at the bottom of this page) and send this back if you would prefer.
The ASB Coordinator can take out measures such as 'Anti-Social Behaviour Orders' and 'Acceptable Behaviour Contracts' against individuals who are causing problems. We currently have a success rate of around 70%. For more details, please see the Anti-Social Behaviour Information Leaflet.
If you wish to discuss a specific case before completing an Incident Report form please contact the Anti-social behaviour coordinator Brian Tully on 01353 656641
Remember, in order for us to help stop anti-social behaviour we need you to report incidents to us. All information will be treated confidentially, and personal details will not be disclosed unless we have your permission.

Ball Games
Playing ball games does not constitute anti social behaviour, but occassionally a conflict of interests arises between players and other local residents. The link below takes you to the Community Safety Partnerships common sense policy on ball games, which aims to strike a balance between players and local residents.
Anti Social Behaviour: Minimum Service Standards
Working with National Government Guidelines the Community Safety Partnership has produced a set of minimum service standards as to how it tackles Anti Social Behaviour. The set of six standards shows how partnership working between the Council, Police, Fire Service and NHS actively tackles ASB throughout the district. The standards contain a useful set of contact details for a range of services dealing with all aspects of anti social behaviour. Please use the link below to access the standards as a pdf document.
