Man evicted for Cheryl Cole hits noise nuisance

A 22-year-old man was handed an eviction notice after repeatedly blaring out songs by Cheryl Cole on his stereo, a council said today.

Martin Bramwell was ordered to leave his first-floor council flat after he tormented neighbours in Ladybrook Lane, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, by playing the 26-year-old singer's hits until 4am.

Mansfield District Council said yesterday's eviction notice, which was served at the town's County Court, came after one neighbour had to stay with a friend because the noise was so unbearable.

Councillor Danny McCrossan, in charge of public protection at the authority, said: "Justice has been done. No-one should have to face this type of anti-social behaviour."
