A man in Halliwell who brought misery to his neighbours was evicted on
Friday.
Bolton at Home took action against the 37 year-old man, following antisocial
behaviour which included repeated neighbour intimidation, verbal abuse,
noise nuisance and criminal damage to the property.
The man had received repeated warnings to improve his behaviour.
However the situation did not improve and a judge at Bolton County Court
awarded Bolton at Home possession of the property on 14 March. The man did
not attend the hearing which included a witness standing up to give evidence
about the man’s conduct.
Bailiffs and representatives from Bolton at Home served a warrant for
eviction on Friday 20 April. Police were also present.
Noel Spencer MBE, Chair of Bolton at Home, said: “We will not tolerate
anti-social behaviour of any kind. We are also committed to support
residents who have suffered from anti-social behaviour. More witnesses
coming forward will allow us to tackle the offenders more effectively.”
