Inspector Richard Thompson said: ‘This is a major result for the local residents who have been subjected to anti-social behaviour for far too long from this address. It has been a long process due to this being a privately owned address along with other complexities with the current pandemic.
‘I would like to say thank you firstly to the residents that supported us and kept the faith, but also to Fareham Borough Council who were also a key partner in providing support and gathering evidence.
‘In addition, I would like to commend the work of the anti-social behaviour team for their expert advice, Response and Patrol officers for their patience, continued attendance and evidence gathering, and finally to my team who have put in some serious work to make this happen, as this was the right thing to do for our community.

Anyone experiencing severe Anti-Social Behaviour in their community is encouraged to call the police on 101.
For any complaints surrounding neighbours, ensure residents can contact with their local Housing Officer, while noise complaints are handled by the council.
