A FLAT has been boarded up today due to anti-social behaviour.

A closure order has been imposed on a first floor flat on Old Road in Latchford after a series of incidents.

PC Pitt from Warrington Central Beat team applied to the courts for the closure due to occupants ‘committing and attracting anti-social behaviour, crime and disorder throughout the day and night’.
