We've secured court order to protect tenants and communities
We have successfully secured a two year injunction with a Power of Arrest, against an individual, following a serious incident.
The order, granted by the court and now confirmed as a full and final injunction until August 2028, prohibits the individual from entering any Ongo-owned property or building.
The injunction was initially awarded following an urgent application by our Neighbourhood Team after a serious incident. Due to the severity of the circumstances, the court granted an Interim Injunction with a Power of Arrest, which was later made into a full order following a subsequent hearing.
The order means that should the individual breach the injunction by attending an Ongo property, police can take immediate action and arrest them.
The case shows the teams proactive approach to addressing serious anti-social behaviour and taking swift action where the safety and wellbeing of tenants is at risk.
Jane Crookes, Regional Manager, said: “The safety of our tenants, colleagues and communities will always be our priority.
“We take all reports of anti-social behaviour seriously and are committed to taking robust action when needed. In this case, the seriousness of the incident required immediate intervention, and we worked closely with our partners to secure an outcome that helps protect those affected.
“Whilst these measures are not used lightly, they are an important tool in preventing further harm and providing reassurance. They show our determination to create safe places for our tenants, and I’d like to thank everyone involved for their hard work in making it happen.”
We continue to work closely with residents, local authorities and partner agencies to investigate reports of anti-social behaviour and take appropriate action where necessary.
Recent Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) have highlighted the importance of continuing to strengthen customer confidence in how anti-social behaviour is handled. By taking decisive action in cases such as this, we aim to demonstrate its commitment to protecting tenants and improving community safety.
