The property was originally closed in August

A village property linked to anti-social behaviour will be closed for another three months.

Officers from West Mercia Police successfully secured an extension to the closure order for 48 Wray Drive in Pontesbury at Telford Magistrates Court on Monday, November 2.

The closure was secured under Section 80 of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.

A spokesman for the police said: “Residents of Wray Drive have reported numerous incidents to police since October 2025, including loud music and shouting throughout the night, trespassing on neighbouring properties, concerns around suspected drug related activity, and intimidating behaviour.

“Action was taking by Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) officers in August of this year when they successfully applied for a three-month closure notice. Following further concerns officers were able to apply and successfully gain an extension.

“The order means that the residents of the property cannot now return for further three months.”

Inspector Ingrid Tozer, from the SNT, said: "The anti-social behaviour linked to this address has had a significant impact on people living nearby, with residents having to put up with persistent disruption and distress over a prolonged period.

"We have worked closely with partner agencies and members of the local community to address the issues being reported and gather the evidence needed to secure this extension.

"This order demonstrates our commitment to tackling anti-social behaviour and taking positive action where it is having a detrimental effect on local residents. We hope the extension will provide reassurance to the community and allow those living nearby to enjoy some peace and quiet.

"We would like to thank residents for continuing to report their concerns to us. Information from the public plays a vital role in helping us build a clear picture of ongoing issues and take appropriate action."
