GROUPS of youths under the age of 16 face being moved on by police after a dispersal order was renewed.

Police will have the right to break up groups of youths congregating and intimidating members of the public.

Biggin Hill's dispersal zone covers the area surrounded by Kings Road, Sunningvale Avenue, Jail Lane, Old Tye Avenue, Village Green and Polesteeple Hill.

The order, which will apply to groups of two or more youths involved in anti-social behaviour, will run until March next year.

One of the priorities for police is to tackle problems of anti-social behaviour on the 464 bus, which runs through Biggin Hill.

Head of the Biggin Hill Safer Neighbourhood Team, Sergeant Gill Smith, said: "The 464 bus route is a problem, especially on Friday nights, bringing youths into the area who are the cause of much anti-social behaviour in the area. "
