There were also reports of suspected drug dealing and drug taking in and around the address, owned by The Guinness Partnership.

A Cheshire Police spokesperson said: "Crewe Beat Management officers secured a closure order on an address linked to anti-social behaviour in Crewe Town Centre.

"The address on Mavor Court has caused significant issues for the residents in that area due to anti-social behaviour and drug-related activity for a number of months.

"A joint investigation has taken place between police and partner agencies which has resulted in the courts granting a closure order for three months.

Mavor Court was opened in December 1986 by The Worshipful the Mayor Councillor, Leslie T. Wood J.P (Ryan Parker).

"This closure order marks the end of a frustrating time for residents but shows how serious we take anti-social behaviour and our commitment to improving the lives of our local residents."
