Man banned for year from town centre
ACTION AFTER ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR
A SUTTON man has been banned from the town centre for 12 months after a string of anti-social behaviour incidents.
Christopher Parr, of Langton Court, received an Anti-social Behaviour Injunction Order following behaviour that included street drinking, threats and abuse.
The Community Safety Team managed to secure the injunction against Parr, who is 62.
The council said they had no choice but to obtain the order following weeks of attempts to engage the man with support services.
The injunction was granted on September 8 at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court.
Parr was ordered to pay a fine to the total amount of £667.50.
Councillor Helen Smith, Cabinet
Member for Community Safety, said: “Christopher Parr was causing misery to residents and visitors in Sutton and Langton Court so this is a really positive result.
“The injunction has a power of arrest attached meaning if he is in breach of the order, by entering Sutton town centre for example, he may be arrested.
“The council is committed to making our town centres safer, cleaner and welcoming places to visit.
“We have proven time and again that we will pursue enforcement action whenever we can to ensure that the behaviours of a few people don’t impact other resident’s enjoyment of Ashfield.”
The order prohibits him from committing or making threats of violence; abusive behaviour including shouting, swearing and using insulting words; and consuming alcohol, or being in possession of an open vessel of alcohol, in Sutton in Ashfield and Langton Court Communal Area.
