Bulwell resident evicted after blasting music at all times of day and threatening neighbours

A nightmare Nottingham neighbour who blasted music out at all hours for years has been evicted from his home. Paul Ndungu was evicted from his council property in Spindle Gardens, Bulwell, by bailiffs on Wednesday, November 20, following consistent complaints over his antisocial behaviour.

Residents had raised concerns about his constant loud music and his threatening manner since March 2022, according to Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire Police. The two authorities had served Mr Ndungu with notices and taken away his TV and stereo, but this had failed to stop him being a nuisance.

In April, he was given 28 days to vacate the council house and was evicted this week after an unsuccessful appeal. Inspector Paul Ferguson, neighbourhood inspector for the City North area, said: "I know our community partners have dedicated a lot of effort, with our support, towards rectifying this situation, so it’s pleasing to now see this resolved.

“This tenant made his neighbours’ lives a misery, mainly by making as much noise as he did within this property but also for acting in such a threatening manner. He then ignored continuous warnings to stop doing what he was doing and has now been moved out of this council house as a result, which I’m sure will be a great relief to others living in Spindle Gardens."

Mr Ferguson added that reducing antisocial behaviour had been a longstanding policing priority in the north of Nottingham. The inspector said there had been a 25 per cent reduction over the last year.

Maria Summers, of Nottingham City Council’s antisocial behaviour service, said: “The officers working on this have shown real determination and persistence, whilst taking enforcement action and also supporting the victims of this case. Ultimately, their hard work has paid off and the residents of Spindle Gardens will now be able to live in their homes, free of loud music, antisocial behaviour and fear of harm from this individual.”
