The order, granted by Luton Magistrates Court, means that nobody is allowed to enter the property – which has been secured and boarded up.

Posting on social media, the community team stated: "This closure order is in response to numerous reports of drug dealing and criminal activity coming from the location. The result would not have been possible without the intelligence that has been submitted. Please keep reporting so we are able to continue to enforce on this."
