A flat in Bristol has been temporarily closed after reports from the public of antisocial behaviour and drug offences. Avon and Somerset received 29 calls connected to a single address in Hayleigh House, Hartcliffe, during the first nine months of this year.
The force worked alongside Bristol City Council in an attempt to reduce the problems but an increase in calls in August and September led to a closure order being sought. Safeguarding action has also taken place to help protect the vulnerable tenant.
On Tuesday, October 25, magistrates agreed to support an application for a three month closure order to help the community.
