Mandy Hudson, 43, was given the order at Stratford Magistrates Court on May 7 after months of bombarding neighbours with loud music and alcohol-related disturbances.

As part of the two-year order, the Chase Meadow resident is banned from entering pubs and shops, playing loud music using amplification equipment or dialling 999 except in an emergency.

Ms Hudson, who is also known as Mandy Allwood, made national headlines in 1996 when she became pregnant with octuplets by her partner Paul Hudson.

She went into labour at 22 weeks but none of the babies survived.

Sgt Allison Wiggan, of Warwick central safer neighbourhood team hopes the ASBO will stop the bad behaviour. She said: "We tried to be supportive but when it starts to affect the community, you have to take that into account.

"In the end, we were left with no option other than to pursue an ASBO as we needed to protect the community from all the anti-social acts she was engaging in. It was a last option."

Employees at shops and pubs on the estate have also had problems with Ms Hudson, who lives in The Marish.

She has already been banned from The Unicorn pub and One Stop store in Chase Meadow and from the Benjamin Satchwell pub in the Parade, Leamington because of her behaviour.

One Stop manager Jay Doherty said: "She was asking customers to buy alcohol for her.

"This was going on for a good six or seven months. Customers found it intimidating and a few of them came and spoke to me about it.

"A lot of our staff were intimidated by her but now she knows if she sets one foot inside, she can get arrested."

One resident said Ms Hudson moved into her three-storey house less than two years ago with her three daughters. He said she made a lot of noise, regularly locked herself out and often knocked on his door in the middle of the night.

He also explained how Ms Hudson showed him magazine articles about the eight babies.

Warwick District Council ASBO officer Julian Hill said: "This is a very successful case. There were a lot of agencies involved. We are now hoping the ASBO will stop the behaviour."
