Magistrates ban anyone from entering Truro home
A residential property in Truro has become a no-go zone following a full closure order granted by local magistrates.
No one is allowed to enter the home at Whitley Close, Truro following incidents of anti-social, threatening and nuisance behaviour.
The closure order action was taken following investigations by local police and council officials.
Neighbourhood Beat Manager PC Anna Elvans said: “Under the terms of the order, no one is permitted to enter the property. The property has been fully boarded up and secured. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to achieving this positive outcome for the community.”
“This outcome has been achieved through the relentless work and dedication of all those involved. I would particularly like to acknowledge the significant efforts of the local Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Officer Stephen Lennon and Cornwall Housing officers, whose ongoing support and commitment have been instrumental in securing this result.
“We don’t underestimate the distress caused to those living close to nuisance properties who suffer from any anti-social behaviour carried out.”
The same property was subject to a partial closure order from 4 June this year for three months due to the negative community impact on other nearby residents. The order now runs as a full closure for three months with total restrictions from 2 September 2026.
Anyone breaching the order is committing a criminal offence and can expect to find themselves at court.
