Police have shut down a house that was making people's lives a misery.
The house at 17 Manningham Road in Anfield will remain closed for three months from today, Monday, August 8. It comes following a spate of crime and anti-social behaviour at the house by day and by night.
Merseyside Police joined forces with Liverpool City Council and the private sector housing team to impose the full closure order under Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.

Community Policing Inspector Sarah Rotherham said: “This order was granted after a four-month investigation by officers from the Anfield and Everton community policing team, Liverpool City Council and Private Sector Housing Team. The investigation saw that the occupant at this address attracted anti-social behaviour, crime and disorder throughout the day and night.
“Whenever we receive reports of antisocial behaviour we will do everything within our powers to work with partners including our local authorities and housing associations to take action and where necessary apply for closure orders. Members of the community have the right to live in their own homes in peace and without having to suffer the behaviour of individuals who couldn’t care less about the misery they cause.
"We understand the stress such behaviour leads to and we’ll continue to work closely with residents and our partners to deal with such problems. Thanks to information provided by all parties, we were able to gather the information and present this at court.
“What you see, hear and experience really helps us take this action, so I would continue to encourage our communities to come forward and speak to us when these issues affect you, for all of our benefit.”
Always call 999 if a crime is in progress. You can also report anti-social behaviour and other crime to our social media desk @MerPolCC or ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre’ on Twitter, or via 101.
