Hillingdon Council has obtained five closure orders for tenants’ properties, including one in Northwood Hills.
The orders were granted by Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 on Wednesday, June 18.
One of these was granted for a council-owned property in Haydon Drive, Northwood Hills, after the court reviewed statements from witnesses and the police describing incidents of drug use, violence and theft from delivery drivers with the use of weapons.
The council outlined to the court that before taking enforcement action, support was offered to the tenant to improve their welfare and encourage behaviour change via a range of agencies.
However, due to incidents of antisocial behaviour progressively getting worse, the order was sought to keep the tenant and other residents safe from harm.
The other orders were issued for council flats within Packet Boat House, Cowley, and The Gouldings and Barnsfield Place, Uxbridge, following a police investigation which found the properties were linked to an organised drug supply operation.
