A flat has been closed down by police over ongoing anti-social behaviour deemed to have a "significant negative impact on the community".

The closure order was granted by the courts on Wednesday to the property in Verbena Road in Cringleford following complaints raised by weary neighbours. 

Reports made to police included concerns about drug dealing and drug use, as well as the playing of loud music throughout the night.
