On 25 February 2026, the Peterborough Magistrates’ Court ordered the immediate closure of three businesses on Lincoln Road in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. The Musa store, Constanta shop, and D1 Barbers were shut down following police reports of drug dealing and anti-social behaviour in the Millfield area.
The closure orders will last for three months and are valid until 24 May 2026. Under the terms of the court order, nobody is permitted to enter the buildings during this time, with the exception of the emergency services.
The Cambridgeshire Constabulary Northern Neighbourhoods Team applied for the orders to address ongoing safety concerns. Sergeant Paul Littlechild said the move helps the police target the core issues that affect residents in the community directly.
One of the premises, the Constanta shop, has a history of similar issues and was previously closed by police for three months in July 2024. D1 Barbers and the other shops will remain under police watch to ensure the court orders are followed.
Local shoppers and residents are being encouraged to use alternative retail and grooming options nearby while the closures are in effect. The action is intended to disrupt criminal activity and improve the environment for people living and working near the city centre.
