“We understand the effect that anti-social behaviour and disorder can have on local residents and we are determined to work hard for our communities to provide realistic and sustainable solutions.
“The behaviour being displayed by a small minority can be disruptive to the community and we understand the difficulties they are causing.
“My teams have been using policing powers available to them – including activating dispersal orders and issuing dispersal notices to those not complying with the order – in a bid to prevent this behaviour from continuing.
