North East Derbyshire District Council and Rykneld Homes have worked with partners to secure a three-month full closure order at a property in Killamarsh following months of anti-social behaviour which caused nuisance and disruption for local residents.
Derby Magistrates’ Court granted the order for 60 Chandos Crescent on 5 November 2026 under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. The action followed partnership work involving the Council’s Community Safety Team, Rykneld Homes and Derbyshire Constabulary.
The court was presented with evidence of significant anti-social behaviour linked to the tenant and other occupants of the property. The closure order was considered necessary to prevent further nuisance and disorder at the address.
The full closure order will remain in place until 5 February 2027. It prevents the tenant and two adult occupants from living at the property. Security screening has also been installed to help prevent unauthorised access during the closure period.
Councillor Nigel Barker, Leader of North East Derbyshire District Council, said: “Everyone should be able to feel safe in their home and community. We know the serious impact persistent anti-social behaviour can have on residents, and need for successful partnership working to achieve the right outcomes for our residents by stopping the behaviour that causes harm to a community.
“I would like to thank local people in Killamarsh for their patience and for working with our teams and partners throughout this case.”
Niall Clark, Managing Director of Rykneld Homes, said: “We take anti-social behaviour seriously and understand the impact that living in fear and with severe disruption can have on our tenants’ lives.
“By working with North East Derbyshire District Council, Derbyshire Constabulary and the wider Community Safety Partnership, we can combine our knowledge and expertise to achieve the best outcomes for residents.
“We thank residents for their support and patience during this difficult time and hope this result will bring them some comfort and peace.”
