Several bus services have been cancelled in part of Merseyside this evening (October 28) following reports of antisocial behaviour. Arriva <\/a>confirmed that three services – the F1, F2 and F5 – have been suspended in the Formby<\/a> area for the remainder of the evening.<\/p>\n In a post on X (formerly Twitter<\/a>), Arriva North West<\/a> said: “Due to antisocial behaviour activity in the Formby area, services F1, F2 and F5 will not operate for the remainder of the evening. We apologise for any inconvenience.”<\/p>\n The cancellations come after a series of dispersal zones were introduced by Merseyside Police<\/a> in response to ongoing antisocial behaviour in Formby.<\/p>\n The most recent Section 34 dispersal order was implemented last weekend<\/a>, with the same order put in place the weekend before.<\/p>\n Both orders<\/a> covered the area bounded by Long Lane Footpath, Church Road, Liverpool Road, Altcar Lane, Hoggs Hill Lane, the railway line, Kirklake Road, Woodlands Road, Wicks Lane and Freshfield Road.<\/p>\n Police said the dispersal zones are one of several tools being used to tackle antisocial behaviour in the area, including fireworks being launched, which has led to property damage and posed risks to public safety.<\/p>\n Neighbourhood Policing Inspector Graham Fisher said: \u201cDespite issuing a dispersal zone last weekend, further incidents have been reported so we are taking further action this weekend.<\/p>\n \u201cWe know that this time of year can bring an increase in anti-social behaviour, especially the dangerous use of fireworks, which can cause distress, damage, serious injury and death.<\/p>\n “The public rightly expects the police to respond to such incidents to take positive action against those responsible.<\/p>\n \u201cThe dispersal zone also aims to reassure the surrounding community and we hope that people will welcome seeing more officers in the area tackling this type of behaviour.<\/p>\n \u201cWe would ask that people continue to support us as we take this action, so we can ensure resources are in the right places.<\/p>\n “We would also ask parents and guardians to speak to children and young people and stress to them the dangers of behaving in such a manner.\u201d<\/p>\n Anyone with information on ASB in their area is asked to contact Merseyside Police social media desk via X @MerPolCC or on Facebook<\/a> \u2018Merseyside Police Contact Centre\u2019.<\/p>\n You can also report information via the website here.<\/a> Alternatively, contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, or via its website here<\/a>.
