Disruptive Macclesfield property issued with partial closure order

A property in a Macclesfield that blighted residents with anti-social behaviour and drug issues has been handed an order banning anyone other than the occupant entering the address.

The property on Bond Street in Macclesfield, was served with the order after officers from the LPU’s Neighbourhood Policing Team were successful in applying for the partial closure order through the gathering of sufficient evidence from residents of anti-social behaviour and drug dealing occurring at the address.

The order, which came into effect from on Thursday 14 August will run for three months and is a direct result of great communication between officers and the local community of neighbours, engaging with them to build as part of the application to the Crewe Magistrates’ Court.

Under the partial closure order the occupant is banned from having anyone else in the property, with anyone who does so being at risk of arrest. This will prevent any ongoing attendance at the location by the resident or any of her associates.

Following the securing of the order, Sergeant Matt Bassirat, said:

“I hope now, through the securing of this closure order, months of ASB, drug use and violent and offences taking place at the address in question will come to an end and give the residents some much needed peace.

“I also hope it shows we really are dedicated to keeping our Macclesfield neighbourhoods and their residents safe and encourages others to work with us to make their communities safer for everyone. We are here to help.

“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 and achieve justice.”

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.
