Cambridgeshire police and Peterborough City Council's Week of Action initiative has seen officers descend on different parts of the city to help communities deal with problems including anti-social behaviour, street crime and fly- tipping.

From Monday, police will launch a similar campaign with Fenland District Council, focusing on a different town in the area, every day until Friday.

Not In My Neighbourhood Week will visit Wisbech and March, with arrest warrants, street clean-ups, speed enforcement and truancy patrols all set to be carried out.

A similar operation will also take place in Huntingdon.

Cambridgeshire's chief constable, Julie Spence, said the campaign was aimed at giving the communities a "sense of empowerment".

She said: "What I hope people will see next week is a wide range of organisations working together to deal with the sorts of issues which dog communities on a daily basis – anti-social behaviour, licensing infringements, rogue trader activities, truancy and so on.

"They're not the matters which make banner headlines but they are a thorn in the community flesh."

Not In My Neighbourhood will pitch up first in March on Monday, with events to include a community safety roadshow and meetings with members of the town's migrant populations.

The following day, in Huntingdon, officers will be carrying out licensing checks in pubs and shops, and a vehicle crime alert scheme.

Following a visit to Ramsey on Wednesday, the week will finish off in Wisbech on Friday.

There, the emphasis will be on anti-social behaviour hotspots and keeping the streets clean, with a community roadshow also being held in the Market Place.

Mrs Spence added: "Actions always count for much more than words, so when you see my officers and others out and about next week, they are working together to help you and your neighbours.

"From traffic checks to roadshows, and from visits to licenced premises to combat under-age drinking to executing arrest warrants, it is all designed to send out a powerful message to offenders that their actions will not be tolerated."
