Housing team take action over drugs offences at Chelmsley Wood home

A CHELMSLEY Wood address has been served with a "closure order" after evidence emerged of drug offences at the premises.
Police had discovered illegal substances and drug-related paraphernalia when they raided 21 Mansfield House shortly before Christmas.
The discovery prompted Solihull Council to seek a closure order, which prevents anyone from entering the property for three months.
Tenant Jake Herbert, 20, failed to appear at Birmingham Magistrates last week, when the order was granted.
Fiona Hughes, from Solihull Community Housing, said: "This case illustrates how seriously we will respond to any form of drug related activity in our properties.
"We will continue to work closely with the police to tackle drugs in our communities and offenders should be under no illusions that swift action will be taken in all cases of this nature and in many cases this will result in losing the property."
