Congleton Beat Team have secured a closure order in Alsager following reports of anti-social behaviour at a property in the town.

The property on Centre Court, Alsager has been shut down by officers following the securing of a closure order under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 from Crewe Magistrates' Court on Thursday(29 January).

The order, which came into effect from 29 January will run for three months, and is a direct result of officers responding to the concerns of residents regarding the behaviour at the property.

It was an example of great communication between officers and the local community that lead to securing the three-month order.

The occupant has since been ordered to leave the property and find alternative accommodation, with all windows and doors being secured for a period of three months. Anyone who enters the address during that time will be committing a criminal offence and could be arrested.

PC Kate Ritchie said: "I'd like to thank the local community for their support in helping us secure this closure and I hope it encourages others to work with us to make their communities safer for everyone.

"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."

Anyone with concerns about anti-social or suspicious behaviour in their area is asked to report it to Cheshire Police via the Cheshire Police website or call 101.
