SMASHED GLASS INCIDENT - 10TH FEBRUARY 2007

Dear Resident,

You will recall the above incident and I write to advise you of the outcome of the legal action taken by the Anti Social Behaviour Team and the Easton Housing Office against Mr Hammer, the perpetrator.

The City Council commenced possession proceedings and injunction proceedings against Mr Hammer. On the 21st June 2007, the Court made a postponed possession order against the Mr Hammer which will run until 21st June 2008. The effect of this order is that if Mr Hammer breaches his tenancy conditions, the City Council will return to Court to request a full possession order and subsequently request a warrant of eviction against Mr Hammer. In addition, the Court has also made an injunction against Mr Hammer which also runs until 21st June 2008. If Mr Hammer breaches this injunction by breaching his tenancy conditions or behaving in a manner that causes his neighbours any nuisance and/or annoyance, the City Council will return to Court to seek Mr Hammer’s commital for prison for contempt and for a full possession order and subsequent eviction.

Mr Hammer is aware of the seriousness of the Orders made against him. We hope that Mr Hammer will abide by the terms of the Orders and that you, his neighbours, will not suffer from any further anti social behaviour by him. These Orders have been obtained by the City Council both to control the behaviour of Mr Hammer and for the protection of all City Council tenants in the area. Accordingly, if Mr Hammer should cause you any nuisance or annoyance then please report the incident. Any call will e treated in strictest confidence and we hope that you will join the City Council in refusing to tolerate any crime and anti-social behaviour.

Yours faithfully,
