An Ashfield resident has been convicted for breaching an injunction order after causing 'significant issues' from her address on the Coxmoor Estate in Kirkby-In-Ashfield. Katy Ross, of Poplar Avenue, Kirkby breached her anti-social behaviour Injunction Order 33 times after 'causing misery' to her neighbours on the estate.
Ashfield District Council’s Community Safety Team intervened by issuing multiple warning and offering support, but the council said this was ignored by Ross. The council obtained an injunction in November last year, after chasing court action in attempts to stop the behaviour.
Despite Ross receiving the order under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, reports of drug activity, violent behaviour, abuse and noise nuisance persisted which continued to have a detrimental impact on the local community. Following breaches of the order, Ross was summoned to Court on Tuesday, October 4, after she was arrested and taken before Mansfield County Court where she was convicted of all 33 breaches of the Order resulting in a 37 weeks custodial prison sentence.
