Police imposed the measures – which allows them to disperse anyone under the age of 16 who does not leave the area when asked – after they received a number of reports about anti-social behaviour.

A separate dispersion order is in place in the centre of Shirebrook until 5pm tomorrow, following concerns about groups of potential troublemakers gathering.

This gives police the power to break up groups and order them to not return to the area for the next 24 hours.
