Two teenagers and a 22-year-old have been with court orders banning them from certain areas of Salford after concerns about anti-social behaviour.
18-year-old Thomas Booth has been banned from entering Mulberry Court in Pendleton for 12 months.
Under the terms of the order if he threatens any tenant at the Salford tower block he could be fined or sent to prison.
A 17-year-old from Bolton, who can’t be named for legal reasons, will not be allowed to enter large swathes of the city under the order.
This exclusion zone (marked on the map below) extends from Bury New Road to Trinity Road, Regent Road and the B5228 in Seedley.

Housing association Salix Homes laid down the civil injunction orders (CIOs) after reports a housing worker was threatened and injured during a residential visit.
One tenant in the tower block had also complained of fearing for their safety.
Steven Stock, aged 22, of Myrtle Place in Lower Broughton, was also placed on a one-year CIO after he allegedly kicked a TV towards a female housing officer, injuring her knee, after she had given him a tenancy warning for noise issues.
A judge has ordered Stock to serve a 12-month CIO banning him from threatening or using violence to any employee of Salix Homes or residents of Myrtle Place.
Sue Sutton, executive director of operations at Salix Homes, said: “These orders highlight how seriously Salix Homes takes incidents of anti-social behaviour in its neighbourhoods.
“We hope these three cases send out a very clear message that we will not hesitate to use this new legislation and take legal action.”
