A POOLE man’s catalogue of nuisance behaviour has seen him banned from his home for three years.

Under a court order Graham Chiverton, 60, of Mansfield Road has also been barred from contacting the emergency services unless for a genuine emergency.

His unacceptable behaviour ranged from banging on the walls of his flat at all hours of the day and night, verbally abused neighbours and banging on their doors.

He is also alleged to have smeared his blood on their doors, been drunk and disorderly, set fires in his property and made nuisance 999 calls to the emergency services.

Borough of Poole of Poole was awarded the Anti Social Behaviour Order after Bournemouth Magistrates heard the extent of the trouble he had caused.

The court heard he had started being a nuisance to his neighbours in 2003 and since then two Asbos had been awarded.

He was previously barred from his home in August 2009, returning in July 2011 when the order expired.

“We are sorry that the situation has had to come to this, where Mr Chiverton has been banned yet again from residing at his property,” said Ian Cooke, community services manager, Borough of Poole.

“Borough of Poole and Dorset Police will not tolerate anti social behaviour and our willingness to apply for this Asbo demonstrates our determination to tackle unacceptable behaviour in our communities,” he said.

In 2004, when Chiverton appeared before Bourne- mouth Magistrates, and was granted an interim Asbo, he had told a psychiatrist he sometimes drank up to a bottle-and-a-half of vodka a day.

At the time he had previous convictions for 20 offences, most of which related to persistent offences of harassment, and he turned to alcohol after increases in medication he had been taking for psychiatric problems, were stopped.

A neighbour at the time said: “Most of us have tried to be quite nice to him, but he’s just very abusive and he’s made everybody’s lives a misery for far too long. He’s a nice man when he’s sober, but when he’s drunk, he’s so vicious.”
