Failure to comply with the order is a criminal offence which could result in imprisonment for up to three months, a fine, or both.

PC Matt Smart, from Wisbech’s NPT, said: “Following the persistent complaints that we have received about the nuisance being caused at the address, we have worked closely with partner agencies to tackle the community’s concerns.

“We hope that this closure order provides reassurance that we do listen and are putting measures in place to resolve local issues.”

Anyone with information about the order being breached should contact police via the web chat service or call101.
