Police officers and council staff joined forces to secure a closure order at a house in Wigan.

The order applies to a property on Fernbray Road, Hindley, and means only certain people are allowed to go inside for the next three months, in a bid to prevent crime and nuisance behaviour.

The address on Fernbray Road was granted the order from Wigan Courthouse under the Anti Social Behaviour Act 2014.

"Closure orders provide addition powers to tackle problematic addresses and are a prime example of partnership working between the local constabulary and the local authority.”

Anyone with concerns about anti-social behaviour can call 101 or use the force’s website.

Alternatively, information about crimes can be passed to Crimestoppers, anonymously, by calling 0800 555 111.
