Weekend long dispersal order for Coventry
Police are cracking down on anti-social behaviour
Last updated 10th Oct 2025
A dispersal order will be in place for Coventry city centre this weekend.
Police have applied for - and been granted - additional powers.
The area covered includes the city centre, Far Gosford Street and parts of Hillfields.
Officers will be able to direct people to leave the area as part of a crackdown on anti-social behaviour, harassment and robbery - if people return they can be arrested.
The move follows a firearms discharge in September.
Police patrols are also being stepped-up through the weekend.
The West Midlands force says it's "working with businesses and the local authority to tackle these issues and keep residents and visitors to Coventry safe."
