A woman from Twigworth has been issued with a civil injunction following her involvement in anti-social behaviour in the area. Deborah Harkness, aged 52, was given an Anti-Social Behaviour Injunction at Cheltenham and Gloucester County Court on Thursday 5 November. It was brought by Solace after working in partnership with Tewkesbury Neighbourhood Policing Team following Harkness' involvement in several anti-social behaviour related incidents throughout the summer months. This included drinking alcohol and being under the influence of alcohol in a public place, and being verbally abusive to people in the community. The judge granting the order heard how there were concerns that Harkness's behaviour was having a detrimental effect on the local community. The injunction against Harkness forbids her from: Engaging in conduct which causes or is capable of causing alarm or harassment or distress to any person within the area of Twigworth and the city of Gloucester; Using or threatening to use violence towards any person within the area of Twigworth and the city of Gloucester; Drinking alcohol in a public place that is not a licenced premises or within her own property. The injunction, which was served against Harkness on Friday 6 November, is in place until 4pm on 5 November 2027. PC Emily Fagan of Solace said: "Harkness' behaviour had become increasingly detrimental to those living nearby. This injunction will help protect vulnerable individuals and enhance the safety and quality of life of residents within the local community. "Police take all reports of anti-social behaviour and violence seriously and will respond robustly to any issues reported to us."
