Anti-social Behaviour Injunctions issued to Nicki Barnard, Lee Barnard, Tony Barnard and Christoff La Riviere of Grays

ANTI-SOCIAL Behaviour Injunctions have been issued to prevent four people from annoying neighbours in Church Street, Grays.

On October 9 Thurrock Council’s Anti-social behaviour team and Legal services obtained the injunctions with power of arrest if breached, against Nicki Barnard, Lee Barnard, Christoff La Riviere, all of Church Street, Grays, and Tony Barnard, of Crest Avenue, Grays, at Basildon County Court.

The problems surround the playing of loud music, using violence and threatening words and behaviour around Church Street, Grays.

Initially Thurrock Council’s Environmental Health team dealt with the noise complaints, issuing an abatement order, but the problem continued and further action was taken.

Councillor Ben Maney, Thurrock Council’s Cabinet member for Public Protection said: “This success was due to a co-operation between the council and the local community.

“The council recognises the difficulties people have in coming forward in these sort of situations. However the benefits are that it enables us to take robust action such as this.

“I would like to thank all who helped us in this action.”

Councillor Peter Harris, who represents the Grays Thurrock ward, added: “The residents were living in a hell for a while, but councillors, residents and the council came together to take action.

“These people were spoken to nicely, and it did no good; they were given an abatement order without success.

“ Now they have got their just desserts.

“I would congratulate everyone involved. A good job.”
