Weekend dispersal order in force in Kent town
A weekend dispersal order is in force in a Kent town to help tackle anti-social and illegal use of vehicles. The order in Minster-on-Sea is in response to continuing issues in recent weeks, including the misuse of motorcycles in public spaces and on footpaths, Kent Police says. The dispersal order started at 16:00 BST on Friday and was expected to be in place until 16:00 on Sunday. Kent Police said: "We are aware of concerns from residents centred around areas of Minster-on-Sea, which have also included multiple motorbikes being driven dangerously and at high speeds on roads." Areas covered by the order include alleyways, footpaths and grassed areas in and around The Glen, The Broadway, Minster Drive, Minster Road, the A249 junction with Sheppey Way, Queensborough Road and Marine Parade. Dispersal orders give officers the power to order a group of two or more people to leave an area if they are suspected of committing, or being likely to commit, a criminal offence or anti-social behaviour. Anyone who returns after being dispersed risks being arrested and those driving illegally or causing alarm or distress could also have their vehicles seized, police say.
