Teenagers causing chaos in a seaside town have led to police putting new measures in place.
Merseyside Police said they have received an increase in reports of anti-social behaviour in West Kirby caused by large groups of teenagers. The Chief Inspector in charge of the area said today the incidents were "having a significant impact" on residents, businesses and visitors to the town.
West Kirby has long been a popular destination on the Wirral coast, and visitor numbers are expected to be high over the Easter weekend. Incidents include one in which a woman's car was stopped and jumped on, as well as disorder in a popular park. To try and combat this, police introduced a dispersal zone today.
