A hard-hitting police ‘dispersal order’ has been introduced in the Failsworth<\/a> area of Oldham<\/a> after reported disorder said to involve groups of youths.<\/p>\n

The order – launched at noon on Saturday – will remain in place until 7am on Sunday, Greater Manchester Police<\/a>. A similar order, brought in in response to similar issues of disorder and criminal damage, was authorised in Rochdale<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n

GMP said officers have implemented a section 35 dispersal order in Failsworth after ‘incidents of anti-social behaviour’. The force reported groups of yobs causing criminal damage at a business, as well as causing concern to local communities.<\/p>\n

The order allows officers to exclude a person or people from an area between stated times. It covers the Partington Street area extending to Brierly Avenue, Lord Lane and Ashton<\/a> Road East.<\/p>\n

Inspector Matthew Catlow, from GMP’s Oldham division, said: “This order has been implemented to provide further powers for officers in the area to deal with anti-social behaviour, and to protest people and businesses.<\/p>\n

“Anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated and where this is reported to us, we will look to take action \u2013 either through proactive action including arrests or preventative problem-solving work alongside our local partners.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reports of disorder and criminal damage in Failsworth have been received by police The area covered(Image: GMP) A…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11981,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[61,5644,62,465,5,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-11980","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uk","8":"tag-crime","9":"tag-failsworth-and-hollinwood","10":"tag-greater-manchester-police","11":"tag-oldham","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@UnitedKingdom\/116388676389151503","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11980"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11980\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
