Police officers and designated PCSOs can use Section 35 dispersal powers to address individuals aged 10 or older involved in antisocial behaviour, crime, or disorder.
These powers can be used not only when incidents have already happened or are happening but also when there is a likelihood that they might occur.
Officers will be patrolling the area, and anyone refusing to comply could face arrest.
