A repeat offender of antisocial behaviour has been stopped in their tracks thanks to the actions of Havering Council and the Metropolitan Police.
A five-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) has been secured against Jane Reardon, 55, from Noak Hill.
Reardon, had carried out persistent anti-social behaviour in the Romford and Harold Hill areas, including street drinking, causing nuisance and disorder within the local community plus, there were concerns relating to a dangerous dog.
The Council and Police received numerous complaints from residents and businesses who said Readon’s antisocial behaviour was having an ongoing detrimental effect on them and the local community.
It frequently required intervention by Police and the Council’s community safety and enforcement teams, into the offences.
The case was discussed at the Havering CBO Panel, with evidence gathered from Police, Council services and other partner agencies.
Professionals also met to discuss safeguarding concerns which had been identified.
On Thursday 2 July 2026, the CBO was secured and an exclusion zone granted which means Reardon is not allowed to enter the area between the following streets: Quilter Way, Dartfields and West Dene Drive, Romford and Hilldene and Chippenham Road, Harold Hill for the next five years.
Councillor Terry Brown, Havering’s Cabinet Member for Public Protection and Planning, said:
“Antisocial Behaviour has a significant impact on people's quality of life – it’s detrimental and causes much distress.
“Our aim, working in partnership with the police and other partners, is to crack down on those who think it is ok to commit ASB in our borough. Our message to them is, it is not ok.
“Securing a CBO is just one example of how we will tackle ASB, listen to our residents and local businesses and work together towards prevention and the strongest enforcement when necessary.
“I would like to thank our officers and the police for their hard work to get this order and help make our borough safer.
“We know how much anti-social behaviour can affect people's daily lives, and this case demonstrates our commitment to listening to the concerns of the community and taking action where it is needed.
“This result shows what can be achieved when residents, the police, the Council and partner agencies work together to make our communities safer places to live and work."
