Overview
- Teesside Magistrates’ Court granted a closure order after evidence linked the Ingram Road address to drug dealing, late-night noise and off-road motorbike disturbances.
- Middlesbrough Council’s east neighbourhood team led the operation, with support from Cleveland Police and Thirteen Housing Group, and the house was boarded up on Tuesday.
- Thirteen Housing Group has terminated the tenancy to ensure the former occupants cannot return to the property.
- Police executed a drugs warrant at the address last year, but ongoing nuisance reports led authorities to seek the closure as a last resort.
- The action follows two pre-Christmas closures on Elkington Walk in Netherfields under the same Project Orme crackdown.
