Councillor Jayne Dunn, Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods and Community Safety at Sheffield Council, said: “We sought the closure order after numerous complaints from residents who were affected by the tenant’s behaviour.

"She had no regard for her neighbours or the effect she was having on them, and caused significant distress and upset.

“We take reports like this very seriously and by working closely with the police, have now secured the closure order which bans anyone from entering the property for the next three months.”
