Local Priority Issues

Priority Action taken

Anti-Social Behaviour

Issued 04 January 2026

A property in Wadebridge has become a no-go zone after reports from the community revealed that visitors to the address were responsible for causing antisocial behaviour (ASB) in and around the premises. The three-month partial closure order was granted on Monday 2 February, making it an offence for anyone other than the named residents to enter the premises. This work was a result of crucial partnership working between the Neighbourhood Team, Devon & Cornwall Police legal team, Cornwall Housing and the local councils ASB team. This address will be routinely checked to ensure compliance over the upcoming months.
