Basingstoke property closed after drug activity
The property's been hit with a partial closure order following reports of persistent anti-social behaviour and drug-related activity
A property On Holland Road, in Basingstoke, has been hit with a partial closure order following reports of persistent anti-social behaviour and drug-related activity.
Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court granted the order on Friday, 11 July, after being presented with evidence detailing ongoing issues at the address.
The order, which is in place for three months, means that only individuals specifically authorised under the court’s direction may enter or remain at the property. Anyone else found at the address will be committing a criminal offence and could face arrest.
The action follows a joint effort involving Basingstoke Neighbourhood Policing Team, the Priority Crime Team, Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, and the property’s housing association.
PC Alex Laing from the Basingstoke Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “Our officers take all reports of anti-social behaviour and drug-related activity in the district extremely seriously.
"I hope this order shows that we will do all we can to stop anti-social behaviour and the enormous impact it creates.”
Police have stressed that the closure order is part of wider efforts to improve the safety and wellbeing of the local community.
Residents are encouraged to continue reporting any concerns.
