Dispersal Order

Dear Resident 

Officers in Maesteg have been given extra powers to deal with persons causing anti-social behaviour this weekend. 

The decision has been made following a number of anti-social behaviour incidents in the area over recent weeks which has caused concern among residents. 

A Dispersal Order which is granted under the Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014, will be in place for 48 hours from 16:00 on Friday 27th March 2026 to 04:00 on Sunday 29th March 2026 in and around Maesteg Town Centre. 

Police Officers and PCSO's will be able to instruct anybody who is causing, or is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to leave the area. We will also have the power to seize any property which officers suspect is being used to cause ASB.
