A Nottingham flat plagued by drug crime, violent incidents and antisocial behaviour has been boarded up.
Nottinghamshire Police and Nottingham City Council worked in partnership to secure the closure order on 21 Cranmer Walk, St Ann’s, after frequent complaints from fed-up residents.
The property was closed on Friday (10 January) following the granting of an order at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court.
The closure order will be in place for three months and prohibits anyone from entering the flat.
If an individual breaches the order they will be committing an offence and be liable to imprisonment and/or a fine.
An application to shut the property was submitted by the council, supported by neighbourhood police.
We took action after multiple reports of suspected drug dealing and antisocial behaviour as well as other suspicious behaviour.
Officers have also attended the address in the past year following reported assaults and other drug-related crime.
Police Constable Betty Shone, of the city south neighbourhood policing team, said:
“This address had sadly become a magnet for crime and antisocial behaviour that was severely impacting on people’s lives.
“I hope this order gives residents in the community some respite from these issues.
“Neighbourhood police teams and the Nottingham City Council ASB team have carried out a lengthy and detailed investigation into what had been happening in and around the property.
“I’m pleased members of the community had the confidence in their neighbourhood police to provide the evidence we needed to take positive action.
“Nobody should have to live in fear of other residents and we simply won’t tolerate this kind of behaviour.
“I hope it also serves as a warning to other tenants about what could happen to them if they behave in this way.
“This result has only been possible thanks to close and coordinated partnership between police and our council partners.
“We will continue to work in tandem to tackle the most serious antisocial behaviour and criminality in our communities and will use all the powers at our disposal.”
