If you have a concern about non-urgent crime or anti-social behaviour, you can report it using Bedfordshire Police’s non-emergency reporting page.

Reporting things such as anti-social behaviour can really help the police to identify hot-spots and make sure resources are proactive in the right areas.

If you wish to discuss the more general issue of anti-social behaviour, please contact Central Bedfordshire Council

Answer 13

If you want to busk you can, but you do need to be prepared to move along if anyone happens to complain. For example, if you are at the entrance to a business and they think it’s impacting their custom.

N.B. You must adhere to Government guidance and law regarding Covid. For information: www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/info/135/coronavirus/896/national_lockdown_stay_at_home
