Bearing in mind that a whole raft of measures will have been gone through on this, perhaps I may give a flavour of what we are talking about; for example, noise, rowdy behaviour, frequent drunken parties, high numbers of people— often these cuckooing people—entering and leaving the premises at all times of the day or night, anti-social residents who intimidate and threaten neighbours, the running of businesses from properties with no authority and so on. We are talking about really persistent and difficult people in situations where it is very difficult, once we have gone through the other things, to do anything about them, rather as in the way of crack houses, and where this enables us to do something about those properties.
