Bath Magistrates' Court approved a three-month closure order on Thursday 22 October for a property on Blackberry Road in Frome. Police and anti-social behaviour officers presented evidence of persistent problems at the address affecting the local community.

Residents reported a range of incidents linked to the property, including intimidation, disturbances occurring at all hours, drug use and suspected drug dealing. Criminal damage was also a concern, with reports of vehicles being damaged and set alight.

The closure order prohibits access to the property except by authorised persons. The Frome Neighbourhood Policing Team and an anti-social behaviour co-ordinator attended court to seek the measure. Police said community members' reports of concerns played a key role in securing the order. Anyone found breaching the closure order may face further enforcement action.
