Cambridge house given closure order after anti-social behaviour complaints

A Cambridge home has been issued with a closure order following ongoing anti-social behaviour.

The order was issued to 2 Akeman Street on Friday (26 January) after a successful application from Cambridge city neighbourhood officers to Cambridge Magistrates’ Court.

The action came as a result of frequent reports of anti-social behaviour and violence coming from the address.

A closure order was granted and the property will be closed for three months.

Sergeant Alice Jeffery, from the Cambridge neighbourhood team, said: “Residents living in the street and surrounding area of this property have endured months of anti-social behaviour. We hope this closure order will provide residents with some respite and allow them and their families to live in peace.”

The full closure order states the house be closed in accordance with the Anti-Social Behaviour and Policing Act 2014. No one is permitted to enter except the emergency services until 26 April 2024.

If anyone is found on the premises unlawfully they render themselves liable for arrest.
