Heanor: Anti-social behaviour prompts dispersal order

22 April 2022

A dispersal order has been put in place in part of Derbyshire following reports of anti-social behaviour and disorder.

The order covers Heanor, Langley Mill and the surrounding area until 17:00 BST on Saturday.

It allows police to disperse people from the designated area and take anyone under 16 home if they are involved in anti-social behaviour.

Derbyshire Police said officers would also be carrying out high-visibility patrols to try to tackle the problem.
