A drugs den that left Nottingham neighbours "living in fear" has been shut down by police. The property in Phoenix Close, The Meadows, become a magnet for criminal activity and blighted the lives of nearby residents, Nottinghamshire Police said.
The force boarded up the house and evicted the tenant on Thursday, April 13 and successfully applied for a closure order at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court. This means it an offence for anyone to enter or remain on the premises with the exception of emergency services, the landlord or authorised representative.
Anyone who breaches the order risks a fine or imprisonment. The order was sought by police following numerous reports of drug use and anti-social behaviour at the address.
