Dear Resident,

Your local neighbourhood officers have served a full closure order on a house in Wisbech in response to community concerns around anti-social behaviour and drug use.

The order was served on 42 Edinburgh Drive on Monday (29 April), and is in place until 28 July, banning anyone other than employees of Clarion Housing Association, Cambridgeshire County Council, and the emergency services.

Failure to comply with the order is a criminal offence which could result in imprisonment for up to three months, a fine, or both.

PC Matt Smart, from the Wisbech Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “Despite the ongoing work that the neighbourhood team have been doing to tackle the issues at the address, the problem was still persisting so further action had to be taken in the form of a full closure order.

“I hope that the closure shows the residents that we are listening to their concerns, and we will be monitoring the address to ensure that any breaches will be swiftly dealt with.”

Anyone with information about the order being breached should contact police via the web chat service or online. Those without internet access should call 101.

Kind regards,
