Neighbours say they were 'living in fear'
Police have secured a closure order for a flat in Ilkeston which they said was a "magnet" for drug dealing, criminal damage and anti-social behaviour.
Last week magistrates approved the boarding up of the flat for three months, barring anyone from entering until October.The Erewash Safer Neighbourhood Team said its application, to the Southern Derbyshire Magistrates Court, had been prompted by complaints about drug dealing, criminal damage, public disorder, threats and intimidation, and noise nuisance at the flat.
"The behaviour seen was totally unacceptable and was having a massive impact on the neighbours and wider community."
