A house in Meadow Road, Bushey, is subject to a three-month closure order following reports of drugs and crime at the property.
The order granted at St Albans Magistrates’ Court on April 24 means that no one is permitted to enter the property for the next three months, other than authorised personnel.
Inspector Rachael Robertson, from the Hertsmere Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “We’d received numerous reports in relation to this property and knew the impact that it was having on other residents.
People have a right to feel safe in their own street.
“This closure order has been achieved thanks to close collaboration with Hertsmere Borough Council (HBC) who share our goal of looking after residents and making the community safe.
“When we apply to the courts for closure orders, there is further work that goes on behind the scenes making sure that any vulnerable residents are safeguarded.
This is important to us and we’ll be linking in with local support services to ensure appropriate ongoing support is available.”
A HBC spokesperson said: “By working closely with our partners, we are committed to disrupting this behaviour, supporting those at risk, and ensuring that residents can feel safe in their own homes.”
