A YEOVIL address has been closed down for three months after reports of drug-related and anti-social behaviour.

A three-month closure order was put in place at Yeovil Magistrates’ Court for an address in Percivale Road, Yeovil, on July 23 after an application from housing association ABRI, along with Avon & Somerset Police.

The court was told how behaviour at the address was having a “severe impact on the local community”.

Now the order has been issued, it will be a criminal offence for anyone to try to access the property, with members of the Yeovil Neighbourhood Policing Team monitoring the address.

“Anyone who tries to access the property during this closure period commits a criminal offence and could be liable to arrest,” a police spokesperson said.

“If you see someone trying to gain access, please call 999. We hope that this will make the area a safer place for local residents, without the fear of criminality from the address impacting their lives.

“Anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated by Yeovil Neighbourhood Policing Team we ask that anyone experiencing such issues in their neighbourhood to report to police.”

The move comes after another Yeovil property, at Walnut House, in The Manse, was also shut for three months following reports of drug dealing.
