Main article content
Dispersal orders have been put in place in Derby ahead of planned protests.
The Section 34 orders began at 12noon today, Wednesday 7 August and will run until 7am on Thursday 8 August.
They cover the areas of the city marked on the maps.
Dispersal orders mean local officers have the power to ask a group of two or more people to leave the dispersal area if they are committing anti-social behaviour, or if we believe they may, or are likely to, cause a nuisance to someone else.
Anybody committing an offence who refuses this order can be arrested and fined up to £2,500 and/or receive a three-month prison sentence.
