A CLOSURE order has been slammed on a property plagued by anti-social behaviour and drug use.
Police said they and the council successfully obtained the closure order at Liverpool, Knowsley and St Helens Magistrates' Court on Thursday (May 30) for a property on Derbyshire Hill Road, Parr.
Officers say this was "following countless reports of ASB and drug use".

In a statement, police said: "As a result, the house has been secured, the occupants have been evicted and the house will be closed for three months.
"Nobody will be allowed to come and go from the address without the permission of Merseyside Police as of today and those who try to do so will be committing an offence.
"Hopefully this will bring some peace of mind to those that were affected by the previous occupants."
