Biggleswade house shut down by police after drugs stash uncovered

Beds Police worked with Central Beds Council and a local housing association to apply for the closure order on the address in Urban Way.

Following a police search, a stash of drugs and drug paraphernalia were discovered at the address.

PC Aiden Howarth said: “We are satisfied with the court’s decision to close down the property. This closure wouldn’t be possible without the support from the community and the council.

“We would also like to reassure our communities that every report matters to us, as they help us build a better intelligence picture of issues in your neighbourhoods.”

Councillor Ian Dalgarno, portfolio holder for community services, said: “Nuisance neighbours can have a detrimental effect on their neighbours' quality of life and wellbeing, and this is unacceptable.”

“This is a positive outcome, which has been secured by working in partnership with the police and housing association to tackle the anti-social behaviour.”

“Residents can also report anti-social behaviour to us online.”

Anyone with concerns around drug criminality and anti-social behaviour can report it to Beds Police online or by calling 101.
