Blackburn Neighbourhood Policing Team have secured a closure order for an address in Blackburn.
The property, on Stonyhurst Road, Blackburn, has been involved in a number of incidents involving anti-social behaviour.
Officers saw the order granted at Blackburn Magistrates Court on 5th August 2025 under section 80 of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, and full closures are now active until November 2025.
PC Chanel Randles, from the Blackburn Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “We have worked hard with our partners to secure this closure order through the courts, and we hope this sends a strong message that this kind of activity will not be tolerated in our town.
“We appreciate the support of our local community and would ask that you continue to tell us about issues so that we can work to tackle this activity.”
Martin Jackson, Neighbourhood Safety and Enforcement Manager for Together Housing said: “We have worked closely with Lancashire Constabulary in supporting their application for a Closure Order, and we welcome the outcome. This reflects our shared commitment to tackling issues that impact residents and the local community.
“The safety and wellbeing of our residents and local communities is our highest priority, and we hope today’s outcome offers reassurance to the community that concerns are being taken seriously and acted upon in partnership.”
