East Riding of Yorkshire Council has obtained a full closure order on two properties in Bridlington following reports of drug dealing and antisocial behaviour.
The full closure orders were granted by Beverley magistrates on Friday 8 November against 55 Abbotts Way and 22 Harrington Road. The properties, a first floor flat and a terraced house, are owned and managed by East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
The order means no one can enter the property for three months except for officers from the council, police, other emergency services or utility providers.
Anyone else who enters or stays on the premises without reasonable excuse can be fined, imprisoned or both.
Beverley Magistrates’ Court were given evidence showing that the council’s antisocial behaviour team had received complaints from local residents about persistent alleged drug dealing, noise, violence, and links to organised crime groups. There were also reports of horses being ridden without safety equipment by children, including into the house.
Anonymous calls and feedback from a council street surgery in the area, revealed that residents felt unsafe due to the antisocial behaviour and presence of unsavoury visitors.
Following the closure orders, the council intends to seek full possession of both properties.
Nigel Brignall, manager of the Anti-Social Behaviour team at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said:
“We are dedicated to ensuring that all parts of the East Riding are a good place to live.
As part of our Multi-agency Clear Hold Build initiative, we are making a concerted effort to reduce antisocial activities in Bridlington. We will not tolerate antisocial behaviour, and I encourage anyone concerned to report it so that action can be taken as soon as possible.”
