Tenants have been thrown out of their home by Staffordshire Police who secured a closure order against the Tunstall house.

Additionally a second order from Stoke-on-Trent City Council has been issued which orders immediate corrective action from the landlord.

The notice placed on a house on Nash Peake Street from the City Council has ordered action to be taken to tackle waste in the rear garden. The order from the environmental crime team warns ignoring the notice could lead to a £1000 fine.

The Prevention of Damage by Pests Act notice reads: "A substantial amount of accumulation of household furniture, waste plastic, building waste, general household refuse, carpets. Including black bags and general waste in the grounds to the rear of your property which could cause nuisance and attract vermin."

The notice to the legal property owner also requires that steps need to be taken to ensure the land is free from rats and mice. The notice dated 5 October gave the owner just 10 days to free the property from waste and pests.

A notice on the property orders action to be taken to tackle waste in the rear garden (LDRS).

The road has been subject to much attention, three weeks ago police, firefighters and paramedics were called to the street following reports of a man in distress which caused a seven hour police standoff. In June police raided a property on the street as part of an investigation into a 50-year-old woman suspected of dealing monkey dust.

Many of the residents living along the street would only speak on the condition of anonymity due to potential action being taken against them. However one that was willing to speak was Craig Williams who regularly visits the street to see family.

Mr Williams said: "It is about time something was done it has been like that for what feels like forever. There has been fighting in the street, people knocking on doors at all hours, it has just made the street feel unsafe."

Another resident who said they had been living on the street for 30 years described what the street was like before. The resident said: "It's been horrible, the place looks like a bomb has hit it. It is horrible living here, it was a nice street before, really quiet and peaceful.

Councillor David Williams, cabinet member for community safety and resilience said: "We take reports of anti-social behaviour extremely seriously and we are working jointly with Staffordshire Police to combat these types of issues.

"With assistance from our anti-social behaviour team, Staffordshire Police have obtained a property closure order at this address. Also, our environmental crime team has issued a Prevention of Damage by Pests Act Notice upon the owner, to clear all waste from the rear garden.

"When I am out meeting residents on their doorsteps, the issue of antisocial behaviour is a priority for residents and it's important that we do all we can with partners to address these concerns. We want to collectively reduce antisocial behaviour right across the city."
