Dispersal Order For Central Northampton

30 September 2014, 06:00

Anyone behaving badly in Northampton will now be moved on as 25 streets in town are now covered by a new dispersal order.

The 6-month council order runs until the 22nd of March 2015, and was sought to combat reports of anti-social behaviour in the area.

Police have the power to move potential troublemakers out of the designated area under Section 30 of the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003.

The roads covered by the order are as follows:

• Melbourne Walk
• Bouverie Walk
• Elizabeth Walk & Elizabeth Street
• Stockley Street
• Vernon Walk
• St Edmonds Street & St Edmonds Road
• Palmerston Road
• Cyril Street
• Wellingborough Road
• Portland Place
• Exeter Place
• Market Street & Market Walk
• Grove Road
• Queens Road
• Spencer Road
• Clare Street
• Carey Street
• Cowper Street
• Hood Street
• Colwyn Road
• Kettering Road
• Shakespeare Road

In recent months there has been an increase in anti-social behaviour, street drinking and youths congregating in this area. Police have been working hard to tackle these issues and improve the town.
