A NOISY youth has been told to pipe down following a spate of late night disturbances in West Kensington that left neighbours at their wits end.

Residents complained to the council and police that teenagers were behaving noisily until 3am on some mornings at the rear of Alice Gilliatt Court in Star Road.

The ringleader had a particular habit of causing trouble in a children’s play area overlooked by three housing blocks. He was known to cause similar disturbances at the Orchard Square sheltered accommodation block in Sun Road.

Council officers were able to identify the lout from footage taken by temporary, mobile CCTV cameras installed by the town hall

He has now promised to improve his behaviour and has signed an Acceptable Behaviour Agreement.

He has also been banned from all communal areas of housing estates and sheltered housing blocks. If he breaches the agreement, an injunction would be sought to ban him from these areas.
