Two men from Larne have been given ASBOs for holding noisy house parties.

Legal action was taken against Ian McLaughlin and Jonathon Shaw, both in their 20s, by Larne Borough Council.

The order means they are banned from playing loud music, shouting and swearing in the vicinity of their house on the Country Antrim town's Bay Road.

Larne Borough Council's head of environmental health Robert Cameron said it "just came to the stage where we had to take legal action".

"We received complaints from a couple of families who were living close to these people, and it really was a case of a gradual build-up of partying at weekends," continued Mr Cameron.

"We also felt given the persistent nature that we needed to go down the route of seeking ASBOs to try to get some better control over the situation."
