SECTION 35 DISPERSAL ORDER IN PLACE

SECTION 35 DISPERSAL ORDER IN PLACE

A Section 35 Dispersal Order has been authorised by Inspector Sam Pearce, for parts of Northolt West End, Greenford Broadway, Pitshanger, North Hanwell, Ealing Broadway, Walpole and Ealing Common from 5:00pm on Friday 30 October until 6:00am on Sunday 1 November. 

The order has been introduced following concerns around anti-social behaviour, robbery, disorder and the misuse of fireworks during the Halloween period. Previous years have seen large groups gathering in the area, causing alarm and distress to residents and businesses. 

The dispersal powers allow police officers and PCSOs to direct individuals to leave the area where their behaviour is contributing to, or is likely to contribute to, anti-social behaviour, crime or disorder. Failure to comply with a direction to leave may result in arrest. 

Additional patrols will be in place throughout the weekend to help keep the community safe. Anyone who witnesses crime or anti-social behaviour is encouraged to report it to police.
