Police and council partners in Blackpool have secured two partial closure orders following reports of crime and anti-social behaviour.
The orders, granted under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act, apply to addresses on Eltham Court, Dinmore Avenue and Munster Avenue.
They come after ongoing complaints including drug activity and violence.
For the next three months, only the tenants can enter the properties. Anyone else found inside could face arrest, a fine, or imprisonment.
