Flat linked to repeated anti-social behaviour in Harborough has been temporarily shut down by police

A flat linked to repeated anti-social behaviour in Market Harborough has been shut down by police for at least three months.

The closure order was granted for 32 Edwin Court on Kettering Road.

It was given on Thursday September 10 following an application by Harborough police.

Police have acted after receiving a stream of complaints from fed-up neighbours of loud noise, drugs misuse and aggressive behaviour at the troubled block of flats.

The order bans anyone from entering the property for three months.

This includes the current occupants.

A copy of the closure order is displayed outside.

Insp Siobhan Gorman, who heads up Harborough police, said: “We’ve received a number of reports concerning anti-social behaviour at this address in recent months.

“By obtaining the order, we’ve been able to take necessary action to stop it from happening.”

She added: “I would like to thank the people living in our local community for the information that they have passed on to us, which has allowed this order to be granted.

“I hope they will now be able to live in peace without having to tolerate such unacceptable behaviour.”
