April

1. Sharoe Green has seen a big rise in youth nuisance over recent months, a number of policing tactics have been used and it is felt that a Dispersal Order would discourage groups of 50-70 congregating as has recently been seen. Groups have at times been rather hostile towards police and residents The Dispersal Order has been progressed in that consultation has taken place with local councillor’s and youth services, the paperwork is ready but at the moment we have seen a marked decrease in numbers of youths in the area due to zero tolerance policing tactics. It has been agreed that we will continue with this approach and use the Dispersal Order as a last resort.

2. Same issues of low level youth nuisance and football issues in both areas. Re The Pennines NACRO need to be chased re community conf and Re Briar Bank Row, place for people need to be engaged through MATAC Residents have met with Scott Walsh from the Restorative Justice centre and the Community Conference is to take place in the first week of June.
