IMPORTANT! Please share - Our Neighbourhood Policing Team in St Austell has introduced a dispersal order to control anti-social behaviour in the CHARLESTOWN area. Parents are urged to make sure their children do not cause a nuisance and/or have a negative impact for residents or those attending the area for pleasure. Our main priority is to keep everyone safe and maintain order. The dispersal powers mean anyone causing or likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress, will be asked to leave the area by officers. Anyone who does not comply with the order, risk be arrested or returned home. Officers will also remove alcohol from any underage drinkers, and high visibility patrols are taking place at key times. The behaviour of a few is detrimental to all and we must consider the wellbeing of everyone in the area, in particular those who live in Charlestown or may have businesses there. Last night a number of youths were abusive to members of the public and local businesses, forcing them to offer refunds to those frequenting their establishments, close early, and contemplate not opening today. Other behaviour observed were youths throwing items into the harbour near to boats. This anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated.  | |
