West Midlands Police have implemented a Section 35 dispersal notice in Coventry to address ongoing issues of anti-social behaviour and illegal off-road bike riding.

The order covers the Cheylesmore area, specifically around Daventry Road, Stivichall, and Memorial Park.

It permits officers to instruct individuals to vacate the area to prevent disorderly conduct and reduce crime.

Those who defy the order and return may be subject to arrest.

The dispersal order is set to remain in place until Sunday, 2nd August, with increased police presence aimed at maintaining safety and deterring offences.

Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activity to police by calling 101, while emergencies should be reported via 999.
