Asbo for man after 10,000 council calls
A disabled man has been given an anti-social behaviour order for bombarding a council with more than 10,000 telephone calls in four months.
In just one day, Robert Bullough, 59, contacted officials to complain 681 times. In a five-week period he made more than 5,000 calls to different departments causing some staff to consider resigning, magistrates heard.
The two-year Asbo bans Mr Bullough, who is in a wheelchair, from all council buildings and from threatening staff or ringing officials, except in an emergency. But Mr Bullough said he will write to Blackburn with Darwen council, Lancs, instead.
Mr Bullough, of Blackburn, said: "It probably was too many calls but the council should be there if you need to speak to them."
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
