Police have secured a three-month closure order at a property in Sturminster Newton, Dorset, following repeated reports of antisocial behaviour. The partial closure order was granted by a district judge at Southampton Magistrates' Court under Section 80 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.

Under the conditions of the order, only the lawful tenant, employees or agents of housing provider Sovereign Network Group, and emergency service personnel are permitted inside the property. Anyone else found at the address could be removed and arrested by police. Officers from Sturminster Newton Neighbourhood Policing Team said the legislation was an important tool in protecting vulnerable people, residents and the wider community from antisocial behaviour and associated criminality. The precise location of the property has not been disclosed.
