From the Facebook page of Warminster Police:
A partial closure order has been obtained for an address in Warminster following complaints regarding anti social behaviour.
The order was granted by a District Judge sitting at Basingstoke Magistrates Court on Friday for the address in Langholm Avenue.
In the past 12 months, police have received numerous calls to the property from local residents regarding anti-social behaviour and disorder.
PC Rich Salter applied and successfully obtained the order which will be in place for three months and means that nobody other than the occupant, or emergency services, are allowed to enter the premises during that time. Anyone who does, is committing an offence and may be arrested.
PC Salter said: “The ongoing issues related to this address have been a concern for residents in the area for some time now – many have young children and have told me they feel concerned letting their children play in the street with the issues that have been taking place.
“It is not acceptable that the actions of one resident should impact on the quality of life of others and so I am pleased we have been able to obtain this order, which I hope provides some reassurance to those living nearby that we have been listening to their concerns and action has been taken.
“We will continue to visit the address regularly to ensure the order is being observed and we would urge anyone who has concerns to call us on 101.”
