Solihull Community Housing (SCH) – which runs Solihull Council’s housing service – has been granted a Closure Order on a property in Chelmsley Wood following complaints of persistent anti-social behaviour by a tenant.
Birmingham Magistrates Court granted the order on Wednesday 6 May 2026 in relation to a SCH property on Blackcat Close.
The court heard that complaints of anti-social behaviour had been made since August 2025. This included alleged drug use and high noise levels at the property and communal areas, particularly at unsociable hours.
The Closure Order now prohibits anyone except for those named on the order - people working for Solihull Council, SCH or the emergency services - from remaining in, returning to, or entering the premises for a period of three months.
Anyone that breaches the order commits an offence and can be arrested. If found guilty of an offence they could be liable to imprisonment and/or a fine.
SCH Chief Executive Lee Sugden said:
“If anybody has any concerns of anti-social behaviour, please let us know.
“You can report it in confidence to the dedicated Anti-Social Behaviour Hotline on 0121 717 1500, or to the police.”
