A flat in Newhaven that was linked to repeated incidents of anti-social behaviour, disorder, and drug-related activity has been shut down following a successful court application by Sussex Police.
The property, located in Eastside Place, Railway Road, was the subject of a full closure order granted by Brighton Magistrates’ Court on 11 February. As a result, the flat was sealed off the same day, with the occupant removed and required to find alternative accommodation. The order will remain in place for three months.
Authorities continue to urge the public to report any concerns about anti-social behaviour. “Reports from the local community help to build a map of crime in localised areas, which assist when handling matters such as court closure orders, as well as our day-to-day patrols,” added Inspector Adams.
