By Hartlepool Alert

Update on Dispersal Order for Area Around Hartlepool Marina from Neighbourhood Inspector Mal Suggitt A dispersal order is a positive power which once we have assessed the necessity and proportionality of having one in place can be used to support the community and prevent antisocial behaviour ASB Tackling ASB remains a priority for us and we will continue to work with our partners and the community to tackle this problem This area has been agreed by ourselves and our partners at a multiagency meeting to be our sector area of focus so we can direct our resources with our partners to resolve the problem Since Wednesday we have had two dispersal orders from 48 hours We have charged one youth with breaching a dispersal notice one for breaching a restraining order and one for possession of a bladed article We have also taken one child home to their parents over the weekend I plan to sign another 48 hour dispersal notice for tonight and tomorrow Monday and Tuesday owing to continued ASB over the weekend Levels of ASB have definitely reduced in recent days because of dispersal orders being put in place however it is still occurring so we and our partners will continue to focus on reducing it further I would once again remind parents and carers of their responsibility in knowing where their children are and what they are getting up to A number of parents were contacted on the nights in question and were shocked to see the level of antisocial behaviour occurring in this location
