Arthur Owen's house on Cyll Terrace was closed by a judge after neighbour's lives were made hell by rowdy anti-social behaviour and suspected drug taking
A judge has ordered the closure of a remote terrace cottage for three months after neighbours had to endure rowdy parties, suspected drug taking and anti-social behaviour.
A court at Llandudno heard the house (number seven) in the otherwise peaceful Cyll Terrace on the Great Orme was owned by Arthur Owen who is serving a jail term at Risley prison, Warrington.
Julia Longworth, a solicitor for Conwy Council, who applied for the order said: “It appears people are given the key and come and go as they will.”
The house had a steady stream of visitors and neighbours lived in fear of their anti-social and aggressive behaviour.
On one occasion an "axe-type" tool was hurled at a neighbour, who managed to dodge it, Ms Longworth added.
Two men from Manchester had been arrested in connection with that incident, the court was told.
An anti-social behaviour officer for Conwy Council described in a statement how neighbours had been left feeling "extremely nervous and vulnerable" and one couple wished to be re-housed.
Problems linked to the house allegedly dated back 14 years but neighbours had been too scared to complain officially.
Most of the visitors were believed to be in their 20s or 30s and young men in their boxer shorts and some naked youngsters had allegedly been spotted urinating outside.
There were also issues about rubbish and overflowing recycling bins and one neighbour said visitors peered through his lounge window.
District Judge Gwyn Jones granted the three-month closure order.
Breach of the order by accessing the house is a criminal offence carrying up to three months imprisonment or a fine.
