A PARTIAL closure order has been granted for a property in Pinehurst.

It means no one will be able to enter the premises at an address in The Bungalows for the next three months to protect those who live there.

Neighbourhood officer PC 2639 Paul Simpson said: “The partial closure order granted on Tuesday gives the police powers to arrest anybody who is on this premises and who is not named on the order, it also carries with it a power to force entry if required. It enables the police to protect the local community with more power. This will be policed robustly by both the local neighbourhood team and the response teams.”
