Dispersal order is currently in place for areas of Milton Keynes

    A Section 34 Dispersal order is currently in place and covers the area Bletchley bound by Standing Way, Watling Street and the B4034.

    The dispersal order came into effect at 17:39 this evening and will continue until 2am on Thursday morning.

    It follows reports of large groups of youths congregating and causing a nuisance in the Bletchley area.

    A Section 34 Dispersal Order gives police, including Police Community Support officers, the power to direct individuals to leave an area, and is issued to stop anti-social behaviour and crime, including harassment, intimidation, or disorder.

    It can be used in response to incidents like vehicle nuisance, alcohol/drug-related anti-social behaviour, or groups of people causing a nuisance.

    Refusal to comply with the order can lead to arrest, fines or even a prison sentence.
