A Warminster woman has been evicted from her home following a catalogue of anti-social behaviour dating back two-and-a-half years.
Donna Downes, of The Dene, was kicked out of her Selwood Housing home on Wednesday for a string of issues, including playing loud music, swearing at neighbours and revving a car in the early hours of the morning.
The Trowbridge-based housing society took joint action with Wiltshire Police.
Miss Downes also neglected and damaged her rented home and was not using the property as her main home.
Selwood Housing operations director, Paul Moore, said: “We are committed to creating neighbourhoods that everyone feels safe, comfortable and happy to live in.”
“Eviction is always a last resort and we try to tackle the root causes first to allow people to change their behaviour, but there comes a point where people like Donna Downes have to understand and face up to the consequences of their anti-social behaviour and the affect it has on other people.”
Inspector Dave Minty, of Warminster Police, added: “We will always respond firmly to any incidents of anti-social behaviour and investigate any criminal activity appropriately. We will work closely with our partners, such as Selwood Housing, to reduce incidents where local people feel concerned about the unlawful behaviour of a few individuals."
Selwood Housing has confirmed that it is not considering offering Miss Downes another home.
