Police have been granted a closure order for a property which was causing antisocial behaviour problems for a community in Walsall.
It comes after reports of alleged drug use and disorder at the property in Caldmore Road, Caldmore.
Officers listened to concerns from residents in the community and worked alongside partners including housing and care provider Green Square Accord to take action.
West Midlands Police applied for a closure order which was granted at Wolverhampton Magistrates Court on Monday.
