A dispersal order has been put in place in a town after several reports of anti-social behaviour.
This week, KentOnline reported the concerns of people living in Snodland which has become a hotspot for anti-social behaviour.
Today, police confirmed a dispersal order for the town will come into effect at 6pm today (July 4) and will remain in place until 6pm on Sunday, July 6.
The order covers areas including High Street, Chapel Road, Rocfort Road, Holborough Road, and Constitution Road.
Under the order, officers will have additional powers to move on anyone causing a disturbance, with those who return after being dispersed facing arrest.
Inspector Zara McAiney commented, “We are committed to ensuring residents and visitors feel safe and confident when out and about, and we will not tolerate intimidating or disorderly behaviour.
“Officers will be patrolling the area, and anyone found causing a nuisance will be required to leave.
“Those that choose to return once dispersed can expect to be detained.”
Anyone wishing to report antisocial behaviour is encouraged to do so via the Kent Police website, or call 999 if a crime is in progress.
