Police have shut down a house after people living there made their neighbours' lives a misery.
Officers from Walton Lane community policing team secured a closure order for an address on Morningside Road in Norris Green at Liverpool Magistrates' Court on Tuesday. The order was granted after repeated incidents of anti-social behaviour, crime and disorder at the home.
Police apply to the courts for a closure order, leaving the offending property tinned or boarded up completely for a period of time - usually around three months. The orders, which can be requested by Merseyside Police or the council, are put in place to allow communities to settle down and return to normal, while the people responsible for causing trouble have to find somewhere else to live.
