Police put dispersal order in place for village amid reports of a large planned disturbance involving youths

Youths will be dispersed from a village in the welsh Valleys if they cause anti social behaviour after police fear they could be organising a "planned disturbance".

South Wales Police has been given powers to exclude anyone from a large area of Ystrad, in Rhondda, amid fears "a group" are planning something.

A Section 35 notice has been placed on an area which extends approximately one mile, between the Ystrad railway station and the Tonypandy Asda superstore. It means that anyone displaying anti social behaviour will be asked to leave the area immediately by police officers.

A spokesman for South Wales Police said: "A Section 35 has been put in place amid concerns about a planned disturbance involving a group of youths. It’s in place from 10am today until 10am tomorrow morning. Officers and PCSOs will be able to instruct anybody causing ASB to leave the area as seen in map."
