Police received repeated reports of disorder at the address in Newport
A house in Newport has been boarded up following concerns raised by nearby residents of anti-social behaviour (ASB) and persistent disorder.
- A court order has been issued to shut a property on Alma Street, in the Pillgwenlly area of Newport.
- The people living in the property have been ordered to leave and find alternative accommodation.
- Gwent Magistrates’ Court granted the closure order, for a period of three months, on Thursday.
- PC Claire Drayton, a crime and disorder reduction officer (CADRO) in the Newport neighbourhood policing team, said: “We had calls about anti-social behaviour (ASB) linked to this address and people living in the area felt they were not able to live in peace and comfort.”
- She added: “This closure order, secured during Anti-social Behaviour Awareness Week, is a direct result of our officers responding to concerns from residents. I would like to thank residents who spoke to me about the issues at this house and provided the evidence needed to secure this closure order.”
- Police say that during the period of this order, which expires on October 2, anyone who attempts to enter this property will be committing a criminal offence and could be arrested.
- A spokesperson for Gwent Police added: “We would urge anyone with concerns about ASB or other criminality in their community, to contact us so that we can act. Call 101.
