Police have imposed a a dispersal order in Ilkeston in a bid to stop incidents of anti-social behaviour in the town. The order was put in place from Friday (March 31) at 4pm and runs until Sunday, April 2 evening.
Derbyshire Police shared a map of the area included in the dispersal zone, which covers much of the town centre and includes includes Victoria Park, Rutland recreation ground and Pewit golf course.. A dispersal order allows police to disperse people from the stated areas, and if they are involved in instances of anti-social behaviour, take anyone under 16 back to their home.
Officers say it comes after they have received reports of large groups of youths behaving in an anti-social way, in particular at Rutland park but also on streets around the town over the last few weekends.
