A house repeatedly taken over by anti-social behaviour has been partially sealed by order of a magistrates judge – after neighbours raised complaints.
The order is on a house in The Skylings, Newbury and granted by Reading Magistrates Court under Section 80 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Disorder Act 2014.
Police applied for the order against the property following complaints of anti-social behaviour.
The partial closure is hoping to prevent a reoccurance.
The order prevents anyone other than the specified persons listed on the order from entering the property for a period of three months.
Anyone who enters the house will commit an offence and would be liable on summary conviction to imprisonment, a fine, or both.
