'Nuisance' tenant in Tunstall evicted following anti-social behaviour
A tenant who was causing anti-social behaviour has been evicted in a serious crack-down by Stoke-on-Trent City Council.
Since August 2023, the council has responded to numerous complaints from the public about a property on Metcalfe Road, Tunstall, housing stolen goods and causing anti-social behaviour.
The council took legal action and was granted possession last month at court.
Supported with intel from Staffordshire Police, the council served a notice to terminate the defendant's introductory tenancy, under the Housing Act 1996 s127.
Councillor David Williams, cabinet member for community safety and resilience, said: "Living in a council property is a privilege and it will never be acceptable for a tenant to make the lives of those who live nearby a misery.
"Everybody should be able to feel safe in their local area and we are committed to ensuring that we tackle any type of anti-social behaviour swiftly and successfully with our partners.
"Where there is evidence we will continue to take action like this and I would like to thank those residents who provided CCTV footage and recorded noise levels for this case.
"We are on a mission to reclaim our streets and build a safer, stronger and more confident city for everyone. An ever-closer partnership approach which brings together the council, partner agencies and our local communities shows that together we can tackle the root causes of crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour."
