Neighbour from hell ordered to move out

A noisy neighbour who staged drunken four-day parties every week for five months lost her home today.

Laura Hetherington, 21, also faces a £6,000 bill after she was taken to court.

Neighbours complained she would invite 30 friends home and blast rap songs by 50 Cent and Eminem at full volume.

One of her unruly friends even set fire to a neighbour's car in the night.

But today Hetherington's neighbours in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester were preparing for their first good night's sleep since September after a judge ordered her to leave her flat for good.

At Oldham county court, Hetherington was ordered to pay costs of more than £6,000 and given a suspended jail term for breaching an earlier court order.

She must leave her property by 2 March under an injunction which allowed the flat's owners, the New Charter housing trust, to re-take possession.

Hetherington did not attend the court hearing and was unavailable for comment.
