The youths also act in a disorderly manner and leave broken bottles and glass in the vicinity.

Extra uniformed officers are patrolling the main problem area at key times.

Robust enforcement action will be taken with people found in this location using Direction to Leave notices, Section 30 alcohol seizures, returning youths to their parents, and if necessary, arresting those responsible for the anti-social behaviour.
