People living next to a home closed off by police following complaints of antisocial behaviour say they are relieved to get peace and quiet after months of blaring music, shouting and violence.

Police officers closed off a home on Elsie Road, Cobholm, following months of complaints of antisocial behaviour.

In January a partial closure order was granted for the address which meant, by law, a restricted amount of people were allowed to enter the address.

But that was escalated to a full closure after several people had flouted the ruling.

It means nobody is allowed inside the house without a reasonable excuse.

In action for the next three months, anybody in breach of these rules can be arrested.

I know people were arguing and shouting a lot, and so many people kept going inside at all hours.

"I really felt for the people living either side. At least now we have a little calm and it is much quieter down here."

"We're all very close down here," said Mrs Lovejoy, 63.

"And the people next door are really lovely people. When they behave themselves.

"Everybody has their own issues to deal with. And for the most part, it's each to their own. But what began as music throughout the day and at night just changed over the years."

"It just became too much for people living down here," she added.

"Don't get me wrong, whenever there was an issue with music or whatever, we would go round, ask them to keep it down, and there were no issues at all.

"And I would welcome them back on the condition it didn't go back to how it was recently."
