A "nightmare" neighbour who left a shocking note on an ambulance as paramedics treated a seriously ill patient will not return to her former Staffordshire home.

Neighbours have revealed that life has been "bliss" after Staffordshire Police said Kirsty Sharman will not be going home.

The force said that it has worked with the council and the property owner to make sure the 26-year-old's former Tunstall home will now be rented out to a different tenant.

It comes as a three-month closure order - which has seen the property boarded up since March - comes to an end this week.

Magistrates granted the closure order after Sharman subjected her neighbours to 18 months of hell, it was claimed.

It culminated in the defendant making worldwide headlines when she left an abusive note on an ambulance as paramedics were parked outside her Parsonage Street home to treat her seriously-ill next-door neighbour.

Now neighbours are said to be celebrating after being told Sharman cannot move back into the property.

Dennis Viggars has revealed how some residents wanted to hold a street party after Sharman was kicked out, Stoke on Trent Live reports.

The Tunstall North Residents' Association chairman, who lives in Parsonage Street, said: "When she was here you just couldn't sit down and settle.

"The verbal and physical abuse she used to give her neighbours was unreal and she nearly made one lady a nervous wreck because of the constant abuse. She was that bad.

"We got her out in the right way. We could have done it the wrong way and got in trouble ourselves but we persevered with phoning the police and in the end one person in the police thought 'what on earth is going on here, let's sort it out'.

"It took more than 18 months to get rid of her but we did it in the right way. We didn't hound her out, she hounded herself out.

"She was OK when she first moved in and we had no visions of her being a problem. But within two months it was chaos."

Dennis says the day of the closure order was a 'great day'.

The note left on the ambulance

He said: "We had to calm the kids down and one or two people and tell them to let the police and council get on with it. They wanted a street party when she went.

"The ambulance incident started it all off again. It went viral all over the world. We had a friend in New Zealand who knew about it. It was disgraceful what she did.

"I hope when she wants an ambulance somebody won't let that ambulance through. That's the only way she will learn – the resident was having a panic attack.

Dennis says the experience has brought the community together.

He said: "I would like to see a good family go into that house. Hopefully we can have a say about who comes into the property because of what we've been through.

"We had a street party for the royal wedding and they are on about having a barbecue for the World Cup.

"In the past few months life without her has been bliss. In some ways we are all better off for the experience."

Police have pledged to continue taking action to shutdown problem properties.

Chief Inspector John Owen said: "As the Parsonage Street closure order comes to an end, we can confirm that the original occupant will not be returning to the address.

"We have worked with partner agencies and the landlord of the property to find a suitable new tenant.

"We are pleased to hear that the closure order has had such a positive impact on the area, by improving the quality of life for residents.

"We hope this serves as a reminder that we will not tolerate anti-social behaviour and will continue to take action, such as closure orders, to tackle problem addresses and individuals."
