Police Shut Down Trouble Spots in Liden
Wiltshire Police have slammed the door on chaos in Swindon’s Liden area. Two properties on Galsworthy Close are now off limits after closure orders targeted ongoing anti-social behaviour and drug dealing. The move aims to bring peace back to the neighbourhood.
Three-Month Closure Orders Enforced
The first order was issued at Swindon Magistrates Court on February 27, with a second following swiftly on March 3. Both ban anyone except residents, emergency services, or authorised housing staff from entering until June 2026. Break those rules and you’re looking at up to 51 weeks in jail, a big fine, or both.
Police Step Up Patrols, Need Locals’ Eyes and Ears
- Increased patrols will keep a close watch on the area.
- Residents are urged to report suspicious behaviour immediately.
- To flag concerns, contact Wiltshire Police via their website, call 101, or dial 999 if a crime is happening.
- Want to stay anonymous? Phone Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Wiltshire Police are dead serious about clamping down on crime and anti-social behaviour. Their message is clear: disrupt the community and face tough consequences.
