A set of nightmare neighbours have been booted out or their property after causing more than a year of misery for an estate in Slough.

Residents of Woodland Avenue, Baylis, complained of poo being hurled at their windows and urine running down living room walls.

Now they are finally able to live in peace following an intervention from Slough Borough Council. say they can finally live in peace.

Anti-social behaviour from occupants in the first floor flat included police being called to fights, drug taking and a huge rat-infested pile of rubbish around the property.

In one lurid tale, a horrified family moved into the flat below with an eight-week old baby and complained of a foul smelling liquid running down their living room wall.

It turned out to be urine seeping through the walls and floorboards into the flat below.

The occupants of the flat also hurled faeces and used toilet paper at the neighbours' windows and into their gardens this September.

Following the litany of problems, Slough Borough Council has now closed the flat.

A diary of the sickening behaviour was started in May last year by the council’s housing and regulations team.

Despite working with the landlord Mohammed Nazar, the issue continued to get worse.

In March, a person was found seriously-ill from a suspected heroin overdose, which prompted the council's to contact Mr Nazar again as they suspected he was letting drug users live in the house.

A month later, Thames Valley Police was called to a fight a fight in the flat.

When council officers attended in support of the police, they found a rat infestation, with rodents seen running up and down the curtains.

Additionally, a massive pile of rubbish was thrown in the garden and on the paths around the flats.

The rubbish was so rotten that it was deemed a serious risk to the health and safety of the occupants and their neighbours.

The council sought a closure order after poo was thrown at neighbours.

The flat has been shut down for three months, after a closure order was granted by magistrates.

An order was granted by magistrates in Slough to close the property entirely for three months, remove the people living in it and secure it.

Contractors have been called in to clear up the waste and disinfect the area around the property.

Kurt Henney, housing and enforcement officer on Slough's Resilience and Enforcement Team, said: "Neighbours had to put up with absolutely horrendous behaviour by the people who came and went and stayed at the property.

"We will not tolerate landlords who abdicate responsibility and allow their premises to be used by drug users.

"The council has used all its powers to make sure this house is closed down so law abiding residents can get on with their lives in peace and quiet."
