Police in Nantwich have secured a closure order following reports of drug abuse, disorder and crime at a property in the town.

The property on Davenport Avenue in Nantwich has been shut down by officers following the securing of a closure order under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 from Crewe Magistrates' Court on 14 November.

The order, which came into effect from 14 November will run for three months, and is a direct result of officers responding to the concerns of residents regarding the behaviour at the property including drug use/dealing, antisocial behaviour, public order offences, and criminal activity.

Residents in the local area have provided sufficient evidence of the issues coming from the address and are desperate for the easement that a closure order will bring to the local community.

The occupant has since been ordered to leave the property and find alternative accommodation, with all windows and doors being secured for a period of three months. Anyone who enters the address during that time will be committing a criminal offence and could be arrested.
