Police have implemented a dispersal order in Chesterfield town centre following reports of "significant" incidents of anti-social behaviour.

The order runs for 48 hours from 18:30 GMT on Friday, with an increased police presence in the town.

This allows officers to disperse anyone they believe are likely to harass or intimidate members of the public.

The order applies to the town centre, West Bars, Queens Park, Ravenside Retail Park, and the railway station.

Anyone found to have returned to the areas above after being dispersed can be arrested.
