A woman who made her neighbours' lives a misery for the past two years has been evicted by a housing association.

Following a court hearing, the Vale Housing Association evicted Kerry Mayhew from her home in Saxton Road.

Vale took the action after complaints of antisocial behaviour from the 28-year-old's neighbours and for non-payment of rent.

One neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: "Now that she's gone, I can get a good night's sleep for the first time in two years."
