CLOSURE orders -- they’re what the police and local authorities use to prevent or deal with anti-social behaviour at properties in your area.

Basically, they prevent anyone from visiting these properties unless they have been given permission by police.

Anyone who does visit these properties would be committing an offence.

The sort of behaviour that leads to closure orders being applied for can include criminal acts such as drug dealing, causing nuisance to neighbours, creating disorder in the community and more.

In April, police closed down a number of flats on Furnival Avenue following complaints about anti-social behaviour.
