Sefton Magistrates Court
granted closure order on a Litherland property
ON Wednesday, 3 February 2016, Merseyside Police was
successful in obtaining a full closure order on 63 Daley Road, Litherland,
at Sefton Magistrates Court, had allowed the occupants until, Wednesday, 17
February 2016, to vacate completely. This follows a history of reports of
drug activity and anti social behaviour at the property. Neighbourhood
Inspector Phil Hatton, said:- "We can confirm that a closure order has
been put in place at an address on Daley Road. The order was applied for by
the local neighbourhood policing team in response to issues raised by
residents of anti social behaviour by the residents and visitors to this
address and that criminal offences were taking place at the premises. The
complaints received included incidents of anti social behaviour, drug
dealing and drug taking linked to the address and people calling there,
causing a nuisance using motor vehicles anti socially. The order was
approved in Sefton Magistrates Court and means that nobody can visit the
address other than the owner. Anyone, other than those specified in the
order, found to be on the premises will be subject to arrest. The prohibited
access to the premises is put in place in an effort to reduce the level of
crime reported in the area and to allow the local residents of Litherland to
enjoy the quality of life that they are entitled to. The order will run for
three months and will be reviewed by officers at its conclusion. The
property was associated with anti social behaviour in the area and appeared
to have become a hub for local gangs in the area who were using it to use
and sell drugs. We will continue to target offenders and any properties
associated with them who continue to cause problems for the community, and
we will do this using all lawful powers available to us in order to make
Sefton a safer and more peaceful place to live. This closure order was only
made possible due to the assistance of the local community and we will
continue to be robust in tackling criminal activity and anti social
behaviour. I would encourage any members of the community who have any
information to call us via our:- 101 number or through Crimestoppers,
anonymously, on:- 0800 555 111." |
