Police confirmed on Tuesday, April 27, that they will use extra powers in the centre of Shirebrook to keep the town free from anti-social behaviour, by redirecting and breaking up groups of potential troublemakers.

The dispersion order, which is in place from 5pm Wednesday, April 28 until 5pm the following day, prevents large groups from gathering on King Edward Street, parts of Carter Lane and Ashbourne Street, along with other areas.
