Park covered by dispersal order as police up powers in Greater Manchester area

A dispersal order has been put in place around a park in Trafford following a spate of anti-social behaviour. It follows reports of problems around Woodsend Park in Flixton on Friday.

The order gives police the power to remove people or direct them away from the area for up to 48 hours through a written notice. It's in place until 7.30pm on Sunday.

Insp Rachel Nutsey said "Anti social behaviour is not acceptable, the park and surrounding area is there for everyone's enjoyment and we will take action against those that cause antisocial behaviour for others."
