The order means that no-one can enter the flat until December 11.

PC Will Davies, from the Waverley Safer Neighbourhood Team, said the order sent ‘a clear message that drug-related anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated’ and enquiries into report of behaviour at the premises were ongoing.

He said: “The Closure Order has given other residents peace of mind, with people thanking us and telling us they feel safer and can now get a good night’s sleep.The locks at the address have been changed and the front door screwed shut, clear Closure Notices have been put in place on the front door and communal door to the building. Regular police patrols are also taking place to ensure further problems don’t occur.”
