A dispersal order will be in place in parts of Cwmbran town centre following several reports of anti-social behaviour. Gwent Police said the order will come into effect at 1pm on Saturday and remain in place until 10pm on Sunday, February 26.
The order - which is granted under the Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014 - covers the areas outlined on the map below. These places include Cwmbran Leisure and supermarkets outside the town centre, such as Aldi, Morrisons, Lidl, and Sainsbury’s.
Police officers and PCSOs will have extra powers to instruct anybody who is causing, or is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to leave the area. If they return to that area after being moved on, they face being arrested.
