A woman has been banned from part of the city after "persistently" engaging in anti-social behaviour.

Rebecca Hope, 47, from Music House Lane in Norwich, has been slapped with a Criminal Behaviour Order, banning her from the Town Close area of the city for two years.

It follows the breach of a previous Community Protection Notice that had banned Hope from attending or entering any property in Suffolk Square on May 8.

She was arrested on July 15 for breaching this order before appearing at Norwich Magistrates' Court on November 18 where the new Criminal Behaviour Order was issued.

The conviction comes amid Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week which encourages communities to crack down on the disruption they experience by making a report.

Sergeant Ali Tassie, from the Operational Partnership Team in Norwich, said: “This CBO demonstrates that Norfolk Police takes anti-social behaviour seriously and that we will deal with those who persistently behave in an anti-social manner.

"We hope that this order helps improve the quality of life for the residents of the Town Close ward and encourage people to report anti-social behaviour to us."
