A closure order has been granted for a property in Bristol linked to drug supply, drug use and extensive anti-social behaviour.

Bristol Magistrates’ Court granted the three-month closure order for a flat in Hollidge Gardens, Bedminster, on Tuesday 10 June.

Evidence to secure a closure order under Section 80 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act was gathered by PC Darell Andrews and Sgt Ben Spence, from the Bedminster Neighbourhood Beat Team.

The property was closed amid concerns it is linked to drug use, drug supply and other criminal activity.

PC Andrews said: “Anti-social behaviour has a wide impact on our communities and the problems it has caused for the elderly residents of Hollidge Gardens will not be tolerated.

“I welcome the closure. Through the effort of multiple teams, from anti-social behaviour teams to PCSOs, we have manged to safeguard the residents while disrupting crime and I am very pleased with the result.”
