A ROWDY council tenant who made life a misery for her neighbours is to be thrown out of her home today . . . just 88 days after moving in.
Nuisance neighbour Sharon Dennington (28) has caused three months of hell for her Lord Street neighbours by playing loud music into the early hours of the morning, being drunk in the street and getting involved in violent confrontations.
She was ord
ered to leave her house within seven days and slapped with an Anti-Social Behaviour Injunction, which prevents her from causing nuisance to residents on Lord Street, after an eviction hearing at Mansfield County Court last Wednesday.
The hearing was told how Dennington had caused misery for her neighbours since her first night on the street on 28th August when she was responsible for playing loud music, getting drunk and swearing in the street with friends until 4.30am.
Dennington is also alleged to have fought with a man in the street before exposing herself on 7th September, held a street party outside her home on 14th October and fought with a male visitor in her underwear on 30th October.
Mansfield District Council's portfolio holder for housing Coun Heather Henshaw welcomed the news and told Chad it would send a stern message to other council tenants who behave badly.
"We will not tolerate any kind of anti-social behaviour, either by our tenants or against our tenants," she said. "As well as sending out a message that anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated, I hope this case will also reassure other tenants that if they bring cases to our attention, we will not hesitate to take appropriate action."
And her views were backed by the council's portfolio holder for public protection Coun Andre Camilleri, who told Chad the verdict was excellent news for her long-suffering neighbours.
"I really feel sorry for the decent residents of Lord Street for what they have had to endure, but am glad that we have been able to take action so quickly.
"Although 88 days may have seemed like a lifetime to the victims, to gather sufficient evidence, put a case together, get it to court and secure orders in that time is a remarkable achievement by our anti-social behaviour team, housing and environmental health officers."
