Police issue dispersal order following ongoing anti-social behaviour in Westbury
Police officers issued a dispersal order to a group of young people in Westbury on Sunday night (16th), near the Leigh Park Community Centre, following repeated concerns about anti-social behaviour.
During the incident, an officer was verbally abused, punched, and kicked by one girl as police tried to engage with the group.
A 15-year-old girl was taken home by police and will now be investigated for assaulting an officer.
The local Neighbourhood Team have seen repeated incidents where a group of young people have been gathering in the town and causing issues. Due to the ongoing behaviour of the group, the police issued the dispersal order which was in place until 5.00am the following morning, giving police the power to order people to leave the area and allowed officers to arrest anyone who failed to comply.

Public toilets to go back to once-a-day cleaning
Westbury Town Council is to revert back to having the town’s toilets cleaned once a day. Back in November, due to rising cases of Covid-19, the town council had voted to adopt a twice-a-day cleaning schedule. But now councillors have reconsidered whether an extra clean is necessary and have reduced the cleaning to once a day. The monthly cost for twice-a-day cleaning is £1,769.08 while once-a-day would cost £1,066.
