Neighbours of a "usually lovely" Long Eaton street have spoken out after a property was closed due to consistent "unacceptable behaviour'". A property at Trafalgar Square off Main Street in Long Eaton was served a closure notice on June 30 by police following repeated reports of drug-related anti-social behaviour.
It comes six months after officers carried out a warrant on a property at Trafalgar Square, when residents said "more than 30 police officers" attended the area. A temporary closure notice was issued at a Trafalgar Square property on Friday, June 30, meaning nobody could enter the property for 24 hours. Long Eaton's neighbourhood policing team explained this would be extended to a three-month period, should a Court Hearing approve the closure order.
Now residents have shared what life is like on the street. Lisa Widdowson, 50, who works as a security guard said: "The anti-social behaviour on the street is the worst, I don't know much about the drugs use, but then again, there is one house which just drug deals in the street all the time.
