Sutton home 'closed' over violence and drugs
Tenants have been banned from a Sutton property following complaints of bad behaviour.
A closure order has been served on 109 Carsic Road following "reports of criminality and anti-social behaviour including violence, drug activity and resident intimidation".
The order, granted to Ashfield District Council at Mansfield Magistrates' Court prevents tenants and visitors from entering the property for a period of three months anyone
entering the address during that time without reasonable excuse will be committing an offence.
