A flat in a Derbyshire town has been boarded up by the police after complaints about drugs, disorder and anti-social behaviour.

Derbyshire Police said it had secured a three-month closure order on the property, in King Street, Clay Cross.

The order, made at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, bars anyone from entering the flat for three months.

The force said it took action to ease the suffering of neighbours affected by "serious nuisance" related to the premises.
