The dispersal order is in place until 9pm tonight
Police in Kirkham have been given temporary powers to ban individuals from the town centre after a series of anti-social behaviour incidents.
Officers said that due to "a significant number of reports of crime and anti-social behaviour in and around Kirkham Town Centre a dispersal order has been issued. The order allows police to order anyone to leave the area shown in the map and to not return. A dispersal order is used in a wide range of situations in order to offer immediate relief to the community. These powers enable officers and PCSOs to direct a person who has engaged or is likely to engage in anti-social behaviour to leave a specified area and not to return for a period of 48 hours. The 'specified area' cannot include the place where they live/work.
This allows a constable in uniform to direct any person who is in a public place in that locality to leave the locality , and not to return to the locality for the period specified.
