Ex Stone Roses manager who harassed Anglesey neighbours hit with restraining order

A former manager of Manchester band the Stone Roses has been ordered to stay away from his neighbours after being convicted of harassing them. Gareth Evans, 76, must also do 120 hours of unpaid work.

His neighbours Bella and Joaquin Plana-Oliveira, of Trearddur Bay on Anglesey, had accused him of a string of incidents including opening their bin at 4.45am, looking like he was taking photos of their boat, hot tub and picnic table with his iPad, spraying water on their front door and bouncing a rugby ball which hit their car. They said he 'wanted a reaction' which he never got.

Evans denied breaching a community protection notice from October 2021, designed to prohibit him from causing the couple alarm or distress. He also denied harassment.
