Ex-convicts told: Behave or face eviction
"Pilot: the scheme is being trialled on the Stonebridge Park Estate in Harlesden, where three orders were served last month by Hyde housing association
Criminals and their families face eviction from their homes within days of being released from prison in a fresh legal assault on neighbours from hell.
The Metropolitan Police have teamed up with one of London’s biggest landlords to test fast-track legislation which bypasses lengthy eviction battles.
Tenants convicted of criminal offences are being served with Suspended Possession Orders as soon as they have been released from jail. Any breach of the order’s “good behaviour” conditions can lead to an eviction order within days. The new powers will prevent lengthy delays associated with evicting known criminals.
The approach has been piloted on the Stonebridge Park Estate in Harlesden, where three orders were served last month by Hyde housing association. It plans to adopt the strategy across the capital, where it has 15,000 homes."

They Can Be Very Rude, Disorderly And Violent Liars

Nick Gargan wants officers to "think and speak differently"
"Chief Constable Nick Gargan is impatient for change and is not afraid of becoming unpopular in pursuit of it.
Just six months into his job, he is embarking on a crusade to transform the culture at Avon and Somerset Police.
His vision for a revised force includes a radical direct-entry scheme giving would-be chief inspectors the chance to skip promotion through the lower ranks.
But his proposal, just one of several ground-breaking reforms he has planned, has already riled some.
The Police Federation called it a "half-baked idea", claiming "people who have not seen a dead body" would not earn the respect of colleagues.
But Mr Gargan is pushing ahead - wanting officers to "think and speak differently" - and this means changing the workforce.
At 46, he is comparatively young for a chief constable, having joined Leicestershire Constabulary in 1988 under a graduate entry scheme.
Policing pilot
He is clear and determined in conveying his vision; transparency, integrity and respect are recurring themes in his conversation.
"The attitude of policing, is sometimes of an organisation that is 'doing policing to people' - not for people or with people - and that has implications for respect," he said."
