It prevents any person from entering the premises at 3 Dukes Barn Court, Dukes Barn Mews, Lindfield, Haywards Heath, for three months.

Sergeant Allan Philip, of the Crawley and Mid Sussex Prevention team, said: “The house owner and those visiting were making the neighbours’ lives a misery by causing anti-social behaviour and drug misuse at the address.

“We worked with the local authority and local housing agency to gain a closure order on the flat which will assist in preventing this behaviour from continuing.”
