Our officers have put in place temporary restrictions to tackle antisocial behaviour in West Bridgford this weekend.
Officers in the Rushcliffe policing area have issued a dispersal order to cover the town centre and Bridgford Park areas.
It follows incidents of ASB over recent weekends and information which suggests further gatherings of young people are planned this weekend.
The order is in place from 12 noon Friday 14 August until 12 noon on Sunday 16 August and may be re-imposed at any time.
Inspector Tim Cuthbert, neighbourhood policing inspector for Rushcliffe, said: “The vast majority of young people have been out enjoying the summer weather in the right way.
“Sadly, however, we have had to respond to several reports of isolated anti-social behaviour in the park and town centre.
“This dispersal order will allow us to target groups who are perceived as causing or likely to cause nuisance.
“We have seen how successful these orders can be in preventing antisocial behaviour when they have been put in place previously.
“I hope members of the community welcome our targeted and robust response to the small number of troublemakers.
“Arrests have been made following previous incidents and we have seized four e-bikes in recent days.”
