Macclesfield officers close down anti-social behaviour house with court order

Macclesfield Local Policing Unit have secured a closure order following reports of drug abuse, violence and anti-social behaviour at a property in Macclesfield.

The house on Byron Street has been shut down by officers who secured a closure order under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 from Crewe Magistrates’ Court on 5 February.

The order, which came into effect from 5 February and will run for three months, is a direct result of officers responding to the concerns of residents regarding the behaviour at the house, including drug activity, antisocial behaviour and escalating violence.

Residents in the local area provided enough evidence of the issues coming from the address for the team to be successful in obtaining the order. This closure order will hopefully bring some peace for the local community which was having to endure such disruptive and harmful behaviour.

Closures such as these could not be possible without the valuable input of residents, local authority, housing associations and private landlords. By working together, communities can only benefit from the positive action the team can take on their behalf.

The occupant of the property has been ordered to leave and find alternative accommodation, with all windows and doors being secured for a period of three months. Anyone who enters the address during that time will be committing a criminal offence and could be arrested.

Sergeant Matt Bassirat from Macclesfield Local Policing Unit said:

“Residents told us their lives were being ruined by the noise, fights and anti-social behaviour at the house all hours.

“Alarmingly they were seeing fights spill out onto the street, sometimes with weapons. They no longer felt safe in their own homes and their health and wellbeing was beginning to suffer quite significantly.

“Our intervention will hopefully help them feel safer and they can have their lives back after what has been a very traumatic and disruptive time for them.

“I want to urge anyone with concerns about ASB or other criminality in their community to please contact local officers and we will do everything we can to address these issues like we have today.”

Anyone with concerns about anti-social or suspicious behaviour in their area is asked to report it to Cheshire Police via the Cheshire Police website or call 101.
