POLICE have obtained a closure order on a flat in Berwick Court, Bourne Street in Eastbourne, following a series of anti-social behaviour, disorder and drug-related incidents linked to the address.
The application for the closure was heard at Brighton Magistrates’ Court today the 17th December 2025, and was granted in full. As a result, the address was closed on the same day as the court hearing and will remain closed for three months. The occupant was removed from the address to find alternative accommodation.
Neighbourhood policing Sergeant Adam said: “Residents had been subjected to anti-social and violent incidents for several months, and we hope that the effect of the closure order can now give residents much-needed respite from the impact and intrusion these incidents have had on their lives”.
“Officers would like to thank residents who reported and helped cooperate with police throughout.”
“We would always encourage individuals to report anti-social behaviour, reports from the local community help to build a map of crime in localised areas, which assist when handling matters such as court closure orders, as well as our day-to-day patrols.”
If anyone has any concerns or information about anti-social behaviour, report to Police online or call 101.
