A CLOSURE order has been authorised for an address in Downton following a high number of incidents involving anti-social behaviour.

The order means that nobody, other than the occupant of the address in Wick Lane, as well as emergency services and local authority representatives, is permitted to enter the premises for a period of three months.

PC James Barrett said: "It is clear that these ongoing incidents of anti-social behaviour are having an increasingly detrimental effect on those living nearby. "We have worked closely with Wiltshire Council on this application and I am pleased that it has been approved by magistrates".

"Officers will continue to carry out regular visits to the address as well as high visibility patrols to ensure the order is being adhered to over the coming months."
