Newport flat boarded up amid reports of anti-social behaviour
Gwent Police has responded to residents' concerns by securing a Closure Order on the property in Tredegar Court, Marion Street, Pill.
The occupants of the flat have been ordered to leave and find alternative accommodation.
Gwent Magistrates' Court granted the closure order, for a period of three months, on Friday 8 August.
PC Claire Drayton, the crime and disorder reduction officer (CADRO) in the neighbourhood policing team in Pill, said:
'We had calls from residents about anti-social behaviour (ASB) linked to this address in Pill.
"This closure order is a direct result of our officers responding to concerns from residents about the behaviour at this flat.
"We recognise that ASB can have a negative impact on our communities, and we take these reports very seriously.
"We hope this order reassures residents that we are listening to your concerns, and demonstrates our commitment to tackling anti-social behaviour and safeguarding our communities.'
During the period of this order, which expires on Saturday 8 November, anyone who attempts to enter this address will be committing a criminal offence and could be arrested.
Gwent Police would urge anyone with concerns about ASB or other criminality in their community, to contact them so that they can act.
You can report anti-social behaviour by calling 101, contacting police via their website or by sending a direct message on Facebook or X.
In an emergency, always dial 999.
