A man has been banned from his home suburb in Oxford for life.

David Reid, 37, has become the first person in Oxfordshire to get a lifetime ban under an antisocial behaviour order.

Under the Asbo, Reid, of Green Hill, in Greater Leys, is initially banned from entering Blackbird Leys. That will eventually be extended to cover Greater Leys. Police said he had been causing a lot of trouble in the area.

Supt Jim Trotman, of Oxford police, said: "This is a very stringent Asbo and we will be watching Mr Reid and checking on him extremely closely."
