A court-ordered closure on a Northfleet property has been extended for an additional three months after ongoing concerns about antisocial behaviour, Kent Police have confirmed.
The property in Lawrance Square was initially subjected to a closure order in late 2024 following multiple reports from local residents of criminal damage, threatening behaviour, intimidation, drug misuse, and persistent noise disturbances.
After the original three-month order expired, Kent Police successfully applied to magistrates on Tuesday, 18 February 2025, to extend the closure for another three months. The order prohibits entry to anyone except emergency services and local council employees.
