A Whitefield mother-of-two has been ordered by the courts to be on her best behaviour or face eviction from her home.
Kelly McGeever (28), of Coniston Avenue, appeared at Bury Magistrates Court last week accused of noisy and abusive behaviour dating back over 14 months.
Evidence provided by witnesses, the police and officers of Six Town Housing included allegations of causing noise nuisance by arguing, shouting, screaming, door slamming, shouting inside and outside the property, drunken and intimidating behaviour towards residents and fighting in and around the property.
McGeever admitted to the allegations on the first day of the two-day trial.
The defendant agreed to a Possession Order, which was postponed for a period of 18 months. This means that if similar offences occur during that period, the mum and her two young children could be evicted from their home.
Susan Jordan, chief executive from Six Town Housing, said after the case: “People have a right to live peacefully in their homes and not to feel intimidated or subjected to threatening behaviour by an anti-social minority. We hope that this possession order will allow Miss McGeever and her family to adjust their behaviour to save themselves from eviction.”
