Hereward’s close working relationship with Cambridgeshire Police was highlighted following successful Closure Orders at two of Hereward’s properties on the estate. Local residents provided evidence of anti-social behaviour at the properties which had blighted their lives. In the two separate raids quantities of drugs were seized by police.

Hereward is now actively seeking possession of the properties. Hereward’s development plans were also outlined with a visit to a nearby site earmarked for new housing. In 2004 Hereward was awarded £5.3 million grant funding over two years by The Housing Corporation. Sanctuary, working with Hereward, is biding for partnership status for future funding allocations as part of a joint effort to deliver more affordable homes in the East of England.
