In recent years it has become possible to use high resolution radio interferometry and other techniques to study the sub-kiloparsec scale circumnuclear gas in the centres of Active Galactic Nuclei. This gas presumably provides the fuel source for the AGN activity and also plays a role in obscuring the direct view of the central engine from certain directions. The status of high resolution observations of the ionised, atomic and molecular phases of this circumnuclear gas are briefly reviewed.
