Police have confirmed another dispersal order will be enforced in Eastleigh this weekend following concerns over anti-social behaviour in the town centre.

The previous 48-hour dispersal order came to an end at 9pm on Tuesday, with six young people formally dispersed from the area during the period.

Officers said another order will be put in place over the coming weekend, with further details expected to be announced later this week.

In the meantime, police patrols will continue to focus on Eastleigh town centre, the Swan Centre and surrounding areas.

Officers said they would deal "robustly" with anyone seen or reported to be involved in anti-social behaviour.

Residents are being urged to continue reporting incidents of anti-social behaviour and criminality to police.

Police said information from the public could help officers tackle the issues and could lead to further dispersal orders being considered before the weekend if required.
