POLICE have shut down an entire estate plagued by 'incessant' drug dealing and anti-social behaviour.
The closure order has been issued across 19 blocks of flats on the Freehold estate in Rochdale.
The measure, which prohibits access to the flats to anyone other than residents, is intended to stop criminals entering the estate.
Police say it will prevent people from congregating in open spaces, including 'stairwells, landings, bridges and near bin chutes.'
It is in force now and will last for three months. Police patrols have been stepped up in order to enforce the order and anyone who breaches it could be arrested, Greater Manchester Police has warned.
The force launched an operation to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour on the Freehold estate in December of last year.
It came after residents raised complaints about drug dealing and facing 'intimidation' outside their homes.
