A neighbour from hell has been jailed after he spent a decade ordering hundreds of unwanted taxis, takeaways and two tons of coal to the homes of his victims.

Paul Hayward’s campaign of harassment saw him throw mud, food and rubbish into their gardens and plague them with more than 150 silent phone calls.

His former neighbours spoke of their relief as he was sentenced to 14 months in prison after he breached an anti-social behaviour order on 19 occasions.

Patricia Jones and Jim and Jill Thomas told Newport Crown Court how the 49-year-old father of two made their lives a misery.

Hayward’s house in Machen, South Wales, was sold last month, marking the end of his neighbours’ ordeal.

Ms Jones, 67, said: ‘It was ten years of hell. We couldn’t relax, we were constantly waiting and thinking “what is he going to do next?”

‘Now he has gone, we are no longer thinking “is it because he’s spying on us?” when it’s quiet.’

She looked after Hayward’s two children when he moved in ten years ago and believes the problems started after she was unable to continue.

I don't see why they didn't just burn the guy's house down. I can't imagine it wouldn't be very difficult. Especially if he's a prick, and everybody hated him.
