A flat has been closed by police after reports of anti-social behaviour including violence and drug related activity.
Police evicted a man, 53, from the property after neighbours complained over six months of noise, violence, criminal damage and reports of numerous people attending the address day and night. Both police and For For Housing received numerous reports about the flat Hyde Close in Ellesmere Port.
Those living in the area said they were left feeling unsafe in their own homes because of the anti-social behaviour. The three month closure was ordered on Tuesday , October 18.

All windows and doors will now be boarded up. Anyone who enters the address during that time is committing an offence and can be arrested.
PC Warwick Evans, partnership co-ordinator for Ellesmere Port local policing unit, said: "The action taken today is a positive and pro-active response to the concerns of the local community. Everyone has a right to feel safe in their own homes and I cannot emphasise the relief that this closure order will bring to local residents.
"The activity at this address was totally unacceptable and I have no doubt that the closure order is the right result for the community and it will have a positive impact on the area. Residents can now go about their daily business knowing that the order has been imposed and that anyone found breaching it will be prosecuted.
"I would like to thank ASB officer Paula Bagnall at For Housing for all the support she has provided throughout this case. I hope that this closure will serve as a warning that people who choose to behave in this way can lose their homes as a consequence of their actions."
