People on the Hollingdean estate in Brighton have been suffering through neighbours from hell.

Tenants in a group of homes have been indulging in reckless and continuous anti-social behaviour.

They have been creating noise, dealing in drugs, getting drunk and producing piles of litter despite constant complaints about their behaviour.

Now police have combined with the council in an operation that should end the misery of many decent folk on the estate.

Tenants who have caused the trouble have broken the terms of their contract and will be evicted as soon as possible.

At a time when there is an acute housing shortage, it is totally wrong families should be living in poor conditions while these troublemakers have caused mayhem in Hollingdean.

They have forfeited their right to decent housing. The council should make sure villains who have caused trouble on other estates receive the same treatment.
