Officers from the council’s anti-social behaviour team and Essex Police swooped on the council-owned property in Clayhill Road, Basildon, on Wednesday morning to issue a closure of premises notice.
Councillor Tony Ball, leader of Basildon Council, said:
“I would like to congratulate the council’s Anti-social Behaviour Team for working so effectively with the support of Essex Police to take robust action against those who are involved.
“If successful in our application these premises will be closed for a period not exceeding 3 months to disrupt the ongoing anti social behaviour, significant and persistent disorder and persistent serious nuisance occurring in and around these premises.
“We will continue to take positive action against these individuals who fail to engage with us and take appropriate steps to stop bad behaviour.”
The next step is a hearing at Basildon Magistrates’ Court on Friday where Basildon Council will make an application for the closure of the premises under section 11B of the Anti-social Behaviour Act.
The council also has a separate possession order application running on this property.
