Bristol property closed for another three months after residents left 'living in fear'

A Bristol house linked with anti-social behaviour and drug dealing has been closed down for another three months.  

The courts have granted a three-month extension of the closure order for the property in Knowle West, which police have identified as having a 'significant impact' on residents. 

The address on Delius Grove in the Inns Court estate was initially subject to a three-month closure order by Bristol Magistrates' Court at the end of October.  

This action was taken in response to residents ‘living in fear’ and ongoing crime, police said, with drug paraphernalia and a BB gun discovered at the property.  

As the closure order was nearing its end, the police successfully secured an extension to address the concerns of the affected residents.   

Neighbourhood police sergeant Joe Iles provided an update on X, writing: "Secured a three-month extension from the courts to maintain the closure of this property, addressing the significant impact on residents."  

Avon & Somerset Police has been contacted for more details.
