A Kirkby resident made life so unbearable for neighbours that
courts decided he should be sent to prison.
Gary Durney, 22, received 12 weeks in prison after breaking two
previous Anti Social Behaviour Injunctions given to him by Knowsley
Housing Trust (KHT).
He made life hell for residents on the Mosscroft Estate in Tower
Hill Kirkby with verbal threats, playing loud music during the day
and night and by demonstrating persistent anti social
behaviour.
KHT served Gary Durney with his first Anti Social Behaviour
Injunction in April 2008 and again February 2009 which prevented
him from entering the Mosscroft Estate. After constant warnings for
breaking these injunctions, KHT were left with no choice but to
take further action.
Liverpool County Court ordered Gary Durney to serve 12 weeks in
prison with a further 6 months extension to his current injunction
with the power to arrest him again if he continues to break
it.
KHT’s Tenancy Enforcement Manager Emma Roberts said:
“It must be made clear to the community that KHT are willing
to do whatever it takes to make our neighbourhoods safer and that
violent and persistent anti social behaviour will not be
tolerated.”
