ASBOs aimed at preventing disorderly conduct at two separate addresses in Greenock town centre. have been granted at Greenock Sheriff Court.
Action can be taken against those who breach the orders. One ASBO will be in place for a minimum term of one year and the other will be in place for two years.
The housing association says such orders have proven particularly successful in its ongoing drive to tackle anti-social behviour within Inverclyde.
A spokesperson for River Clyde Homes (RCH) said: “Obtaining the full ASBOs at Greenock Sheriff Court sends another strong message that RCH will not tolerate anti-social behaviour in any form.
“We are aware of the impact anti-social behaviour can have on our tenants’ lives, particularly during this pandemic, and we take a zero-tolerance approach.
“As well as seeking ASBOs, RCH will also continue to take legal action to recover a tenancy where the anti-social behaviour persists.
“Our aim is to ensure our neighbourhoods are safe places to live and we will continue to support anyone who comes forward to report this kind of behaviour.
“Our customers should never feel helpless when faced with anti-social behaviour and can be reassured that River Clyde Homes will always act in the interests of our valued customers.”
Residents are encouraged to report anti-social behaviour to Police Scotland and Inverclyde Council’s community wardens as well as contacting River Clyde Homes on 0800 013 2196 which they can do in confidence at any time over the festive period.
