A property in North Bristol will close for three months after police say it had become a 'non-stop drug store'. Working with Bristol City Council, Avon and Somerset Police secured a closure order for a property in Ambleside Avenue, Southmead, on Wednesday, September 7.
Magistrates at Bristol Magistrates' Court granted the closure order in just 20 minutes. It is the seventh closure order for the Southmead area of Bristol and, following reports of fighting, drug dealing and assaults at the property, it was known as a 'persistent' and 'prolific' property in the local community.
In a statement, one local resident said the property was a 'non-stop drug store' with, at times, as many as eight or nine people queueing outside. They added: "There was constant shouting, swearing and fighting, both in and outside the property.
