In a decisive move against anti-social behaviour, a flat in Newport has been boarded up after local residents raised concerns. Repeated reports of disturbances at the property in the Pillgwenlly area led to a court order evicting the tenants for three months. PC Claire Drayton of the Newport neighbourhood policing team stated, “Residents couldn’t live in peace due to ongoing issues at this address.” The closure order was secured during Anti-social Behaviour Awareness Week, highlighting the power of community voices in driving action. Anyone attempting to enter the property during this period will face legal consequences.
Gwent Police are urging anyone facing similar issues to speak up, so they can take necessary action.
