    Unauthorised visitors have been banned from a Leeds tower block as part of work by the police and council to tackle drug use and anti-social behaviour.

    Officers have secured a partial closure order for Meynell Heights in Holbeck.

    Police say residents’ lives have been blighted by long-running issues with drug use and anti-social behaviour.

    The order means that anyone who is not a resident or invited guest is banned from entering the premises and can face arrest and prosecution.

    Any breach of the order is a criminal offence punishable with up to six months in prison.
