Imteyaz Gul (48), and her family were evicted from their council home in Spinney Hills, Leicester, as the court stated that the house was amid serious and persistent antisocial behaviour.

The eviction was approved by a court after an investigation by officers from Spinney Hill Park police station and Leicester City Council.

There were reports of alleged relentless antisocial behaviour by the family despite warnings which led the city council to take legal action. There was an incident of serious violent disorder associated with the family which led to the arrest of a number of people, in July 2015.

The assistant city mayor for housing, Andy Connelly, spoke after the eviction process was complete. He shared, “Everyone should have the right to live in peace and enjoy their homes without the fear and threat of the sort of persistent anti-social behaviour that occupants at this property were involved in. The eviction will help bring these problems to an end and provide reassurance that this kind of anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated.”

Sgt Nigel Baraclough added, “The serious anti-social activity connected to occupants of this property has caused fear and misery to the local community. Hopefully, this eviction will make a real difference to residents' quality of life.”

The eviction was carried out by county court bailiffs on Monday 18th January.
