Exeter flat closed to curb nuisance behaviour among neighbours
Closure order granted to stop antisocial disruptions in Cowick area
A closure order has been issued to tackle prolonged antisocial behaviour at a residential flat on Cordery Road in Exeter.
On 25th February, Exeter Magistrates Court granted a full closure order making it illegal for anyone to enter the premises for three months.
The order followed numerous reports of disorder at the location, leading to police intervention.
PC Emma Osborne, Neighbourhood Beat Manager for Exeter, explained that despite several attempts to provide support, the tenants and associates continued to act disruptively, affecting nearby residents.
"As a result, a closure order - which is always the last resort - was applied for and granted. This prevents anyone from entering the property for three months and will inevitably restore peace and safety to neighbours."
She added, “We hope this reassures the public that we simply won’t tolerate this type of offending and will continue to work closely with partner organisations to put a stop to it.”
The closure order's effectiveness will be reviewed after the three-month period, with the possibility of extension by the courts if necessary.
