Face coverings have been banned in parts of Manchester as part of wider efforts to curb anti-social behaviour on Bonfire Night<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Greater Manchester Police<\/a> has issued two separate orders to boost officers’ powers today (November 5).<\/p>\n

Both orders cover parts of Gorton<\/a> and Abbey Hey, in east Manchester, from 9am this morning until 3am tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n

One order – known as a Section 60AA authority – specifically gives GMP the power to require people to remove any face coverings that are being used to disguise or conceal their appearance.<\/p>\n

Police have also issued a Section 60 authority, which gives officers additional powers to stop and search people.<\/p>\n

Both orders, issued under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, cover the areas of Gorton and Abbey Hey highlighted in red in the map issued by GMP (below) – between Ashton<\/a> Old Road, Chapman Street, Hyde<\/a> Road and Gorton Reservoirs.<\/p>\n

The area includes Vine Street, which was the scene of major disorder last Bonfire Night<\/a> – with a car set alight and officers pelted with fireworks.<\/p>\n

GMP says patrols will also be increased ‘over the coming days’ as part of efforts to keep residents safe during the Bonfire Night period.<\/p>\n

Inspector Zac Campbell, of GMP’s Gorton and Levenshulme<\/a> Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “We have implemented this order to assist officers in reducing serious anti-social behaviour and criminality during Bonfire Night.<\/p>\n

“The order runs into the early hours of tomorrow morning, and you will notice extra police presence in the area.<\/p>\n
