A property in Pensnett, Dudley, described as a 'nightmare' for neighbours, has been boarded up and closed for three months following persistent anti-social behaviour. The house at 44 Rookery Park was the subject of a full closure order issued by Wolverhampton Magistrates Court, effective until 11:59 PM on August 13, 2026.
Court Order Secured
West Midlands Police (WMP) confirmed that officers from Brierley Hill team 3, working alongside Dudley Council's anti-social behaviour (ASB) team, obtained the closure order. The court action came after months of complaints about disorderly conduct originating from the property and its immediate surroundings.
Impact on Community
A WMP spokesperson said the behaviour had a 'detrimental impact' on local residents and the wider area. The property's closure aims to restore peace and safety to the neighbourhood. Police have warned that anyone found at the address during the closure period faces immediate arrest.
This enforcement is part of ongoing efforts to tackle anti-social behaviour in the Black Country. Authorities encourage residents to report similar issues to local policing teams or the council.
