Following three Closure Orders granted last week, East Riding of Yorkshire Council has obtained a further closure order on a council-owned property on Bessingby Gate in Bridlington, following activity by Humberside Police, which recently exercised warrants for drug related organised crime at the properties, as part of Operation Shield.
In addition to the Order, the tenant was ordered to pay £567 costs direct to the council.
The closure order granted by Beverley magistrates yesterday (Wednesday 4 October), means that no one can enter the property for three months, other than officers from the council, Police, other emergency services or utility providers.
The council has also served Notice Seeking Possession on the tenant and intends to seek full possession through the courts.
Anyone who enters or stays on the premises without reasonable excuse can be fined, imprisoned or both.
Yesterday (Wednesday 4 October) a member of the council’s anti-social behaviour team served the Order and Notice with officers from Humberside Police.
