A closure order’s been obtained on a property in Tadworth after reports of anti-social behaviour.
The order to close 48 Homefield Gardens was granted on Monday (11 May) at Redhill Magistrates Court.
The property has been boarded up as a result of the notification with notices informing the public it is closed to protect the neighbourhood from future acts of anti-social behaviour. It will be sealed for a three month period providing respite for the community.
The landlord – Raven Housing Trust – is in the process of repossessing the property and if successful the tenant will be permanently excluded from the property.
Anyone seen entering the property during the closure period will be arrested and could be fined or jailed for breaching the order.
