Together with a range of community partners, the Scarborough Neighbourhood Policing Team are continuing to make a difference for residents in tackling serious and organised crime and anti-social behaviour on the estate.
This week in support of the Barrowcliff 'Clear, Hold, Build' project, a house was closed under a court order.
The address on Colescliffe Road has been the subject of a catalogue of calls to the police, council and the housing association recently regarding complaints of anti-social behaviour, crime, and disorder.
A closure notice was issued on Monday (14 October 2024) which allowed 48 hours for the case to be heard at York Magistrates’ Court.
This prevented anyone, other than the tenant, from being within the property.
York Magistrates’ Court then granted a three-month closure order on Tuesday (15 October).
This now prohibits any person from living within the property.
Sergeant Tom Wilkinson (pictured above), from the Scarborough Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “We are using the closure order to allow the residents of the surrounding area to live peacefully, and without the threat of crime, disorder or anti-social behaviour.
“The Community Safety Hub have compiled complaints from residents, which has been presented to the court in relation to this matter.
“Despite several warnings and interventions regarding their behaviour, and the effects it has had on the local community, there have been no improvements.
“The resident has been supported by multiple agencies and has now been offered alternative accommodation.”
