Merseyside Police worked with Torus Housing Group and its safer estates team to secure the closure.

Community policing inspector Stacey Pope said: “I welcome the court’s decision to issue this closure order. This address has been linked to criminal activity and it’s caused a lot of concern for residents of the area.

“Merseyside Police will always act on any information we receive, so thank you to the community for coming forward to report these incidents as it’s helped us secure this order.“We hope this closure order acts as reassurance to the community that Merseyside Police will not stand by and let residents suffer in their own homes due to the behaviour of others.”
