A property that blighted its neighbourhood with anti-social behaviour, drug issues and violence has been handed a partial closure order.

Police have secured an order for a property on Bond Street, banning anyone other than the occupant from entering the address.

Officers made an application to Crewe Magistrates Court after gathering sufficient evidence from neighbouring residents of anti-social behaviour and drug dealing.

Coming into effect on Thursday, August 14, the partial closure order order will run for three months and bans the occupant from having anyone else in the property, with anyone who does so being at risk of arrest.

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."
