Two Residents Served Anti-Social Behaviour Injunctions Amid Persistent Nuisance Complaints

Two individuals, one from Stroud and another from Stonehouse, have been issued anti-social behaviour injunctions following ongoing disturbances affecting their neighbours. These legal orders explicitly forbid threatening conduct, violence, use of foul language, and property damage.

Breach of these injunctions constitutes a criminal offence and may result in arrest. In response to concerns, Stroud District Council’s community officers have been engaging with local residents, providing reassurance about safety, and distributing practical crime prevention tools, such as light timers aimed at enhancing home security.

Anti-social behaviour (ASB) can manifest in various ways—from fly-tipping and graffiti to unreasonable neighbourly conduct. Residents are encouraged to report incidents promptly through the council’s convenient “Report It to Sort It” system.

The council emphasizes close collaboration with the police and partner agencies to address issues and support victims. While many cases are resolved through advice and early intervention, enforcement measures are pursued when necessary.

Cllr Martin Brown, Chair of the Community Services and Licensing Committee, stated, “Protecting our residents is our top priority. We urge everyone to report anti-social behaviour immediately so we can take effective action.”

Cllr Gary Luff, Chair of the Housing Committee, added, “For council tenants, breaching these injunctions could lead to eviction. The safety and well-being of our tenants are paramount, and we are committed to ensuring that everyone feels secure in their home.”

Residents are urged to report any violations of anti-social behaviour orders without delay to enable swift enforcement and maintain community safety.
