Suffolk Magistrates' Court has closed an Ipswich property on Leighton Road by court order until February 2027 following years of anti-social behaviour.

Suffolk Magistrates' Court has granted a Closure Order for a property on Leighton Road in Ipswich following years of anti-social behaviour and associated criminal activity. The order covers the entire property and will remain in force until 10 February 2027. It prohibits anyone from entering or remaining at the address unless they have been specifically authorised to do so. Anyone found to have breached the order could face prosecution, a fine, or both.

The Closure Order was secured through joint working between Ipswich Borough Council and Suffolk Police. According to a Suffolk Police spokesman, the action is 'a significant outcome for the community' following ongoing work to address concerns raised by nearby residents. The spokesman added: 'Closure Orders are a valuable tool in tackling persistent anti-social behaviour and helping communities feel safe in their own neighbourhoods.'

Both agencies thanked residents for their patience, support and continued reporting, which they said helped build the evidence needed to secure the order. Ipswich Borough Council said it would continue to work closely with Suffolk Police to monitor the situation and take further action where necessary. The council remains committed to protecting local communities from anti-social behaviour. Residents experiencing anti-social behaviour in their neighbourhood are being urged to continue reporting it to provide vital evidence for enforcement action.
