A Stoke-on-Trent City Council tenant has been given a Civil Injunction Order after repeated anti-social behaviour (ASB).

Shamaine Proctor, who lives on Philip Street in Fenton, appeared in court after complaints about her abusive and threatening behaviour. The court was satisfied that she had acted aggressively towards residents, council workers, and contractors.
 

The injunction bans Miss Proctor from behaving in an anti-social manner towards her neighbours and from being abusive or threatening towards council staff or contractors. She has been also ordered to make sure any dog in her control is properly managed.
 

The action follows a robust investigation by the city council’s ASB Team who worked to gather evidence and bring the case to court.

Councillor Majid Khan, cabinet member for community resilience at Stoke-on-Trent City Council, said: “This is a strong, clear message to all residents - anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated. Everyone has the right to feel safe in their home and their community. If someone is threatening towards their neighbours or our council staff action will be taken. Our communities deserve better, and this clear message starts on our doorsteps.”
 

Miss Proctor has also been ordered to pay costs of £1017.00 to the city council.
