ANOTHER dispersal order has been issued for the area surrounding a leisure centre.

A section 35 Dispersal Order has been authorised by police.

The order will cover the Knightwood Leisure Centre and the Valley Park Community Centre in Chandler's Ford.

This comes after two dispersal orders were implemented in the same area earlier this month.

A councillor claimed litter was being dropped and drugs were being taken on the site.

This order will be in place from Friday at 4pm until 6am on Sunday.

Police say this is to combat anti social behaviour reported by residents.

Police will have the power to remove anyone from the location that is seen causing crime or disorder.

It does not stop legitimate use of the area.
