Police have issued a closure order on a property following complaints from local residents.

The house, on Poplar Drive, Coppull, just outside Chorley, has been involved in a number of incidents of anti-social behaviour, police said.

Officers were granted an order this week at Lancaster Magistrates' Court and closures are now active for three months, which prohibits anyone from visiting the property.

PC Georgina Anson from Chorley’s Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “This closure order sends a clear message that persistent anti‑social behaviour will not be tolerated in our communities.

“Working closely with our partners and the local community, we have taken decisive action to restore peace to the area.

"We hope this provides reassurance to residents and encourages anyone affected by similar issues to come forward so we can continue to take robust action.”

Operation Centurion is a county-wide crackdown on anti-social behaviour, led by Lancashire Constabulary and backed by Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw.
