A property in West London has been shut down after residents complained of anti-social behaviour, including “drug activity and prostitution’.
Police and Harrow Council enforced the closure at an address on Enderley Road, Harrow, following a successful appeal at Willesden Magistrates on July 13, 2021.
Neighbours were left with no other choice but to call on the authorities for help as the activities at the property continued to have a negative effect on the wider community.

The Council worked with the Police and Community Safety Unit for an application of a premises closure under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Disorder Act 2014.
The closure will remain in place for three months until October.
Cllr Peymana Assad, Cabinet Member for Community Cohesion, Crime and Enforcement, said: “I’m proud of the diligence of the community and the council’s Community Safety Team, which worked alongside the Safer Neighbourhoods Team to provide enough evidence to the court to close this property.
“The Council will always take swift action against those causing nuisance, drug dealing or other types of anti-social behaviour in Harrow, especially towards our community, in this case, our residents in Enderley Road.
“We will continue to take legal action against those who make residents feel unsafe.
“I am sure we can all feel safer after this decisive action that we’ve taken alongside the police.”
Chief Inspector Ed Baildon added: “This property had been a nuisance to the community of Enderley Road with reports of drug dealing and anti-social behaviour.
