Are the newspapers allowed to print the house number when it&#39;s subject to a Closure Order?
<p>If a house is subject to a Closure Order made under the <a href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2014/12/part/4/chapter/3/crossheading/closure-orders?timeline=false" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014</a>, can the press, especially local newspapers, publish the house number as well as the street name?</p>
<p>On a related note, what recourse would the tenant have if they were to be harassed due to this publication?</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Yes, unless the Magistrates' Court makes an Order restricting such publication.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Harassment is an offence, so one option is to <a href="https://www.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/sh/stalking-harassment/how-to-report-stalking-harassment/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">report it to the police</a>. Or, alternatively one could make contact with a <a href="https://www.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/sh/stalking-harassment/support-victims-harassment/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">support group</a></p>
