Melbourn (Melbourn, Gt Chishill, Lt Chishill and Heydon)
To help pinpoint problems and find practical solutions to reduce anti-social behaviour in the village, Melbourn’s Practical Solutions Group (PSG) has recognised that a less formal and more inclusive approach is required to achieve its aims. This group remains multi-agency, and can work with and include Melbourn residents (young and old).
Crime Offence levels in Melbourn have decreased compared to the previous period (30 offences vs. 56 offences) also compared to the same period last year (40 offences).

Two offences related to the same incident where two males started fighting and one demanded property and assaulted the other when he would not comply.

The Parish Council has bought and installed several new salt bins within the Village. However, some people have been using the salt from other bins for their own gardens and driveways. The salt bins are there so that residents can treat public areas; mainly pavements and roads. The salt should not be used for treating areas on private property. Theft of, or from, the salt bins is a criminal offence (s.1, Theft Act 1968). If you see anyone stealing a salt bin, or its contents, please contact the Police. If it is a crime in progress, use the 999 number; if not, then please use the non-urgent reports number: 101.
