ACHA Evicts Drug Dealer in Campbeltown

Argyll Community Housing Association (ACHA) recently raised court action against a tenant for repossession of his tenancy in Campbeltown, as a result of his conviction for possession with intent to supply cannabis.

Having heard the evidence, the Sheriff held that it was reasonable to grant an order to the Association to recover possession of the tenancy.

Illegal drug use and drug dealing is a particular concern to local residents and tenants of the Association. The outcome of the court action is another success for the Association in enforcing its policy against anti-social behaviour and activity relating to illegal drugs, with the aim of ensuring safe communities within the Argyll and Bute area.

Alastair MacGregor, ACHA’s Chief Executive, said

“I am pleased that the Association has been successful in this action. Drug dealing from ACHA tenancies is not acceptable and I hope it can act as a deterrent.”

The Association, in reiterating its message about illegal drug use or drug dealing in your community, asks local residents who have any information on these matters to please contact their local ACHA office or the Police.
