Closure Order for Address in Westcliff
Following a serious incident on 16th December 2023 at Riverstone Flats, Crowstone Road, Westcliff on Sea, a Closure Order was successfully obtained this morning at Southend Magistrates Court
A Closure Order was obtained under the Anti-social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014 which prevents access to any person for a period of 3 months.
This order was secured following engagement between Southend City Council, South Essex Homes and Essex Police and is an example of positive partnership working. Collectively, we hope that this order will provide the residents and community with reassurance to enjoy their home peacefully and that positive action has been taken.
Sarah Lander, Director of Housing Operations at South Essex Homes, said: "SEH recognises that this incident was extremely worrying for residents living in the block and it was vital for us to work with colleagues at the Council and Essex Police to respond quickly and effectively.
"We hope this closure order will provide some reassurance to residents impacted by this unacceptable behaviour."
