A property in Strood, connected to a string of incidents involving violence, suspected drug misuse, and antisocial behaviour, has been slapped with a closure order by authorities. Kent Police successfully applied for the order at Medway Magistrates’ Court on Friday, February 16, 2024, following persistent complaints from residents in the vicinity of Bligh Way.

The closure order, effective for three months, prohibits any unauthorized individuals from entering the premises during this period, under the threat of fines and potential imprisonment. Local officers, in collaboration with the housing association that owns the property, ensured its evacuation and subsequently secured it. A prominently displayed warning sign on the door serves as a stark reminder of the legal consequences of trespassing.
