During Bromley police’s live Facebook Q&A this week Chief Inspector Craig Knight addressed the issue of racism and kids on bikes in Beckenham.
He said: "Police will never tolerate racial abuse in our community and nor should anyone else. I take a slightly softer stance on kids using bikes in the park but it is important that's done safely.
"If you let us know any detail you have of any racial incident we will look into it and ensure its properly recorded. Also let us know best times to patrol the park and I can task some officers to be in the area at the times suggested."
The dispersal zone was issued in the Copers Cope and Eden Park wards to discourage anti-social behaviour.
