Newark and Sherwood District Council and Nottinghamshire Police have secured a Court Undertaking from a Blidworth resident following sustained concerns about nuisance and antisocial behaviour affecting local residents and the wider community.
An Undertaking is a legally binding agreement between a person and the court and is treated with the same seriousness as a court order. If breached, it is deemed as contempt of court and consequences may include a fine or imprisonment.
The Undertaking was secured at Mansfield County Court on 8 July 2026 and places restrictions on Robert Winter, including exclusion from a designated area of Blidworth where the majority of incidents causing concern were reported.
The action follows joint work by the District Council and Nottinghamshire Police to investigate complaints from residents and address behaviour that was having a negative impact on the local community.
The Undertaking follows an initial court hearing in June 2026 for an application for an Injunction, when interim measures were put in place pending further proceedings.
Councillor Paul Taylor, Portfolio Holder for Public Protection and Community Relations at Newark and Sherwood District Council said:
When behaviour repeatedly affects the day-to-day lives of residents, it is important that concerns are addressed and appropriate action is taken.
"This Undertaking is the result of joint working between the District Council and Nottinghamshire Police in response to issues raised by the local community. We would like to thank those residents who came forward and supported our investigations.
"We remain committed to working with our partners to tackle antisocial behaviour across the district and to ensuring our communities are places where people can enjoy living, working and spending their time.
Newark and Sherwood District Council continues to work closely with Nottinghamshire Police and other partner agencies to tackle anti-social behaviour and nuisance issues across the district.
Inspector Charlotte Ellam, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
"The public can really assist us in stopping antisocial behaviour, as this specific investigation showed.
"By raising issues connected to this individual with ourselves and the council, the community helped us to collectively secure this court undertaking.
"Tackling ASB remains a longstanding priority for our neighbourhood policing team, so it was pleasing to be able to work in partnership with the council to achieve this positive resolution."
Anyone who wishes to report anti-social behaviour can speak to our team, in confidence, about any issues or concerns they may have. To register an anti-social behaviour complaint, contact the District Council or use the online anti-social behaviour reporting form.
