A dispersal order has been put in place in a Nottinghamshire town following a spate of anti-social behaviour. Police will now have the power to disperse people in West Bridgford to try to get a grip on the recent disorder.
It comes after reports of a group of young people behaving in an aggressive and anti-social manner in and around the Bridgford Park area in recent days, the force confirmed. The incidents remain under investigation and the neighbourhood policing team has also put in place a temporary dispersal order which gives officers the power to order people out of a specific area.
The order was issued on Monday (May 9) for a period of 48 hours and may be re-imposed at any time. Sergeant Sarah Merrall, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We have received several reports of anti-social behaviour in the area over the last few days and this is something we take very seriously.
