Police dispersal powers extended in Eltham (From News Shopper)

• "The dispersal orders have probably been effective for McDonalds and certain other traders on the High Street. However, I've noticed more youths loitering in various parks around Eltham in the last few months and I wonder if the problem has simply been pushed from high street chains to residents. It seems that different authorities - the council, police, politicians etc. - are very focused on the High Street and that problems outside of it receive much less attention. I'm grateful for the good work they have done to re-generate the High Street, but maybe it's time for them to shift their attention back to ordinary residents, their environment and their issues."
