Another dispersal order issued covering M1 after cars congregate

Police have issued another dispersal order covering the M1 after reports of vehicles congregating in groups on Sunday evenings.

The force say the cars are driven in anti-social manner and present "a risk to the public".

The Section 34 Dispersal Power of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 has been authorised covering junction 26 to 28 of the motorway along with a number of other surrounding roads.

It comes after a dispersal order was ordered for the same area last week by police.

A spokesperson for Ashfield Police said: "This dispersal order again covers junction 26 to 28 of the M1 (North and Southbound), the A611 towards junction 27 and all the surrounding roads within a one mile perimeter of junction 27.

"These areas receive multiple vehicles on Sunday evenings which congregate to drive in a manner causing anti-social behaviour, presenting a risk to the public.

"Any vehicles found to be in a convoy, congregating or driving, in an anti-social manner will be moved on from this area."
