- Not enter the area bordered by New Drove, New Bridge Lane, Boldness Road and Weasenham Lane in Wisbech

“His behaviour has been having a significant impact on those living nearby, with lots of comings and goings from the camp, causing noise, disruption, and excessive litter.
“Once he is released from prison, we will continue to monitor him, along with the outreach team, and enforce the CBO for as long as it is in place.”
Anyone who sees Mielncizk breaching his CBO should report to police online or call 101.
