Grotton residence hit with Closure Order following anti-social behaviour complaints

Should any further incidents be reported, an application can be made for this order to be extended for a further three months

Police have secured a three-month Closure Order at Manchester and Salford Magistrates Court for a private address in Grotton.

This was after officers received a high number of complaints from local residents around anti-social behaviour and drug use.

This behaviour was occurring at all hours of the day and was having a detrimental impact on the quality of life of residents in the community.

Should any further incidents be reported, an application can be made for this order to be extended for a further three months.

Abigail Cronin, Chief Inspector of Neighbourhood and Partnerships, said: "We are grateful to those residents who have raised their concerns to us and who provided us with the information that we required, in order to obtain this order.

"Anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated and we understand the impact that it can have on people’s lives.

"We hope that this order provides some respite to those residents and sends a clear message to those who think that such behaviour is acceptable."
