Wharfedale residents who have been ordered to behave by the courts face being named and shamed in a leafleting campaign.

Leeds City Council is looking at printing leaflets and posters of offenders who have been the subject of Anti-Social Behav-iour Orders (ASBO).

The orders, which can be brought to court by the Council and the police, ban people from nuisance behaviour in specific areas.

And the leaflet campaign would inform the public about the details of an order, including who the subject is along with their photograph.

The Telegraph & Argus reported yesterday how a 15-year-old girl from Otley was banned from using threatening violence towards anyone or abusing, insulting, harassing or threatening anybody within West Yorkshire.

Emily Prest, of Crow Lane, could face up to five years in jail for carrying a lighter or matches in a public place during the two-year ban.

She was also banned from drinking in a public place or causing criminal damage.

After the case Council leader Keith Wakefield said young people should take note that the Council would not ignore nuisance behaviour.

And two weeks ago the T&A reported how Jermaine Christopher Sheerin, 18, formerly of the Kineholme Drive area of Otley, was banned from the town after harassing and intimidating people.

Sheerin, of no fixed abode, is currently in Wetherby Young Offenders Institution. After the case, Otley Mayor Nigel Francis called for photographs of offenders to be on show around the town so the order would be effective.

"We need to have pictures of him plastered up all over the town so people will recognise him - that is the only way this will work," he said.

A Leeds City Council spokesman said: "We are considering the use of posters and leaflets in relation to Anti-Social Behaviour Orders."

The Council could not say when the scheme would start.

A leafleting campaign was recently launched in Manchester to inform residents of the identity of people who have been the subject of an order.
