DELINQUENCY DIARY OF WOE.

FROM virtually the day they moved in, the Durhams have made life hell for families. APRIL 2008 - Gateshead Housing Company serve an eviction notice on the family following years of anti-social behaviour. Among the list of offences committed by Marie Durham and her teenage sons are: arming themselves with golf clubs and CS gas; pelting bricks and eggs at neighbours homes; aiming a BB gun at firefighters, and; failing to ensure child attends school.

MARCH - The family use a ground-floor window instead of a door for getting into their house. The Durhams challenge the eviction tying it up in the courts for months.

OCTOBER -Durham family members spotted filming a streetfight between neighbours. Footage is put on Youtube. NOVEMBER - A court mix-up grants the family a reprieve. The court administration error meant the family had 34 days to leave the premises instead of 28. They finally flee and neighbours spot them hurriedly throwing possessions into the back of a white van, before leaving.

DECEMBER - Durhams resurface two miles away, in Chopwell causing a nuisance to their new neighbours.

FEBRUARY 2009 - Teen tearaways from the family are caught causing havoc, back in the estate they were evicted from.

MARCH -Residents worst fears are confirmed when two members of the 'family from hell' move back to within doors of the property they were kicked out of. AUGUST - Told not to go back to their Chopwell home, the whole Durham family moves to Highfield.

They are later banned from the flat above a butchers shop they have been renting.

SEPTEMBER - Family move into tents just metres from where council bosses kicked them out. Reports of trouble and brushes with the law continue to grow.
