Southport flats will remain closed in North
West's longest closure order
ON Thursday, 6 October 2016, following a hearing at South
Sefton Magistrates Court, an extension to a closure order that was granted, for
8 flats, on Talbot Street, Southport early this year (2016). The flats will now
remain in place until 8 January 2017. The orders were originally applied for in
July by the local Neighbourhood Policing team in response to community
intelligence in relation to the supply of drugs. Neighbourhood Inspector Graham
Fisher said:- "I am delighted that this order has been extended, which is
the biggest of its kind in the North West. We will continue to make every effort
to identify and take action against premises linked to drug supply, which can
have such a devastating effect on the lives of those living in the area. I would
encourage any members of the community who have any further information on drug
dealing and other crime to call us via the:- 101 number or through Crimestoppers
anonymously on:- 0800 555 111." |
