Solihull Community Housing (SCH) has been granted a Closure Order on a property in Elmdon following complaints of persistent anti-social behaviour.

Birmingham Magistrates Court granted the order on Wednesday 28 October 2026 in relation to 17 Frankton Close, following proceedings against tenant Simon Carter, aged 57.

The court heard that complaints had been made of persistent anti-social behaviour from Carter and his visitors including noise disturbance and alleged drug use which was having a 'detrimental effect' on the residents of Frankton Close.

West Midlands Police and SCH attended the address on numerous occasions and SCH officers sent warnings to Carter about his behaviour, which was in breach of his tenancy agreement.

The Closure Order now prohibits anyone, except for those named on the order, from remaining in, returning to, or entering the premises for three months.

Anyone who breaches the order commits an offence and can be arrested.

If found guilty they could be liable to imprisonment and/or a fine.

SCH Chief Executive Mark Pearson said:
