A 30-year-old man has been evicted from his Battersea home after years of antisocial behaviour.

The man was evicted from Compton House, in Parkham Street, after a string of drug and violent crimes.

Wandsworth Times:

Battersea Inspector, James Ellis, said: "This is yet another good example of police and council working together.

"Eviction is usually used as alast resort but if individuals persist in committing crime and ASB in their neighbourhood, we have to look to the welfare and safety of the majority of local law abiding residents.

"We will use whatever means is at our disposal to prevent and deter crime."
