Golborne - closure order issued at property after 'disturbances'

The Golborne and Lowton Neighbourhood team have been working in collaboration with Wigan Council after a stint of problems in the local community, caused by the property.

A full closure order was granted on the May Street property in Golborne by Wigan Magistrates' Court, which prevents any access by any persons for a three month period.

Any breach of the order will result in arrests and further action by police.

This comes after reports of anti-social behaviour and criminality, which have caused problems for people in the local community, police say.

In a post to social media, a police spokesperson said: "We want our communities to feel safe and be free from criminal behaviour, nuisance and disorder and we will continue to take action against those who prevent this.

"If you have any information relating to criminality in your area you can contact us via the live chat service or via our website. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 1111."
