The application was made after officers were called to reports of an assault at the address on Wednesday, January 30. Following a search of the property, evidence was found that the location is used for drugs use and dealing.
At the time, a temporary 24-hour closure notice was put on the location pending the court hearing at Luton Magistrates’ Court.

Sergeant John Killick, from the Luton community team, said: “We, as a team, are all about protecting the vulnerable members of our community. After the officers attended it was clear that this address was used for drug taking.
“Drugs are extremely damaging and have a negative impact on the health of our community. We are happy that this location will no longer be used for illicit purposes.”
