A WOMAN has been served with an injunction for throwing a television from the ninth floor of a Radford block of flats.

The TV monitor which was thrown by Corinne Lowe, 22, from her home at Pine View, The Woodlands, narrowly missed a contractor who was fixing his van outside.

Woodlands CCTV footage captured the TV being thrown from a particular flat.

Lowe admitted she had thrown it when questioned by the police.

The conditions of Lowe's injunction forbid her from threatening to cause a nuisance or annoyance and from assaulting or threatening to assault others in the Pine View block of flats and adjoining car park.

She is also forbidden from damaging any Nottingham City Council premises.

Richard Antcliff, chief anti social behaviour officer, for Nottingham City Council community protection, said: "There have been several incidents of rubbish and other items being thrown from the windows of high rise buildings, which has caused damage to vehicles and can make the environment very unpleasant for residents.

"Community protection, Nottingham City Homes and Woodlands CCTV Centre will continue to work closely to ensure that any acts of anti-social behaviour like this, which put the safety of members of the public and city council employees at risk, are captured and do not go unpunished."

A separate incident led to another Pine View resident, Shareen Goldbourne, 20, appearing before Nottingham County Court for throwing rubbish from the 10th floor.

A caretaker was working at the Woodlands flat complex and heard the sound of something falling as he was locking up the bin store.

He jumped back instinctively and narrowly avoided a falling plastic bag full of household rubbish.

The caretaker opened the rubbish bag to find that it held glass bottles; a telephone directory and letters that identified which flat the rubbish had come from.

Goldbourne was forced to agree at court that she will not throw any items from the windows of her flat.

Kim De Vergori, assistant director for housing at Nottingham City Homes, said: "All our tenants have the right to live in peace and quiet.

"If the rubbish bag or the TV monitor had hit one of our employees or another tenant, they could have been seriously injured – or even killed.

"This kind of anti-social behaviour is completely unacceptable and a serious breach of the tenancy agreement. We will not tolerate it and will always take legal action – which may lead to tenancy demotion or eviction.

"We will always work with partner agencies to remove the problem from the area, so it doesn't cause distress or nuisance to other residents."
