Home closed over drug dealing and violence concerns

The house in Peterborough cannot be accessed until August

A house has been closed for three months over concerns about drug dealing and violence.

The home in the Millfield area of Peterborough can only be accessed by emergency services, the city council and people with police consent, until 21 August.

Entering the house on Windmill Street without permission could result in a fine, imprisonment or both, Cambridgeshire Police said.

The force said it had obtained the closure order from Huntingdon Magistrates' Court to protect residents from antisocial behaviour.
