Flat Shut Down Over Six Months of Chaos
15 Sep
Summary
- A Northampton flat was shut down for three months.
- Persistent noise and drug activity led to the closure.
- Residents feared leaving their homes due to behavior.
A property in Northampton has been sealed for three months due to persistent reports of criminal activity. Over a six-month period, residents experienced continuous disturbances, including excessive noise and alleged drug-related behavior. This led Northamptonshire Police to seek and obtain a closure order from Northampton Magistrates' Court.
The issued order strictly prohibits anyone from entering the flat at Lawrence Court. Consequently, the property has been secured and boarded up by authorities. West Northamptonshire Council collaborated with police and Northamptonshire Partnership Homes to implement this measure. The decision was made after numerous complaints from local residents who expressed significant fear about their safety and well-being due to the ongoing issues.
