A HOUSE being repeatedly taken over by anti-social behaviour has been partially sealed by order of a magistrates' judge – after neighbours raised concerns to the police.

The order on a house on Budges Road, Wokingham was granted on Tuesday, April 28, by Reading Magistrates' Court under Section 80 of the Anti Social Behaviour, Crime and Disorder Act 2014.

Police applied for the order against the property after having an impact on neighbours in the area.

The partial closure prevents anyone other than the specified persons listed on the order from entering the property for a period of three months.

Anyone who enters the house will commit an offence and would be liable on summary conviction to imprisonment, a fine, or both.

PC Laura Wright, based at Bracknell and Wokingham station, said: “I am confident that with the order in place, the sort of behaviour that residents have had to put up with will now cease and it will send a very clear message that we will not tolerate behaviour which impacts on the quality of life of others. We will continue to work closely with our partner agencies to achieve this.
