A WOMAN has been jailed for eight months after breaching an injunction preventing her from stepping foot into the South Acton Estate.

Samantha O'Gorman was served with an anti-social behaviour injunction (ASBI) in 2008, but last week she appeared at Brentford County Court where she admitted entering the estate on February 22.

The 36-year-old was told previously she was banned from entering or being within the area of the estate, loitering, urinating or defecating in the communal areas, and from possessing or leaving any drugs paraphernalia within the blocks and surrounding areas.

Councillor Vlod Barchuk, Cabinet Member for Safer Communities, said: "This injunction has been put in place to ensure residents are not made to suffer because of one person’s behaviour. We are working closely with the police and Ealing Homes to ensure that residents feel safe.

"If people ignore the rules of an injunction or ASBO we have given them we will continue to take action until they understand that their behaviour is unacceptable."

She was previously jailed for four and a half months in March 2009 and for six months in October 2009 for breaches of the injunction.
