Sentence: £1,330 fine and costs, plus a five-year Criminal Behaviour Order
Peter Cook of Riversgate, Fleetwood, engaged in anti-social behaviour by playing excessively loud music, shouting, and banging on shared walls, which formed a targeted campaign of harassment against his neighbours. This breached a Community Protection Notice issued by Wyre Council under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. Despite multiple warnings from the council and Lancashire Police, the disturbances continued, leading to the seizure of his noise-making equipment and subsequent court action.
