A NEW dispersal order will be enforced in Cwmbran town centre this evening following fresh complaints of anti-social behaviour.

The 48-hour order will come into effect at 6pm and end on Sunday evening.

It covers the town centre, bus station and neighbouring residential streets.

Dispersal orders are used by police to crack down on disorder - they give officers powers to move groups of people along and to make arrests if people do not comply.

This new order is the third to be issued in Cwmbran during the current Easter holidays.

Gwent Police said it had received "multiple reports of anti-social behaviour in Cwmbran since Wednesday, April 20".

Inspector Shane Underwood called the reported disorder "completely unacceptable" and urged parents to keep tabs on their children's whereabouts.

“While dispersal orders are in place, especially during the Easter break, we’d ask that parents ensure they know where their children are and continue to speak to them about the impact their behaviour can have on our towns and neighbours," he said.
