A dispersal order has been put in place for Swadlincote town centre following increased reports of anti-social behaviour.

The Section 34 notice began at 18:30 hours on Friday 6th March 2026 and will remain in place until 18:30 hours on Sunday 8th March 2026. Please see the map below, the area highlighted in red is the area covered by the dispersal order.

Over the last few days, we have seen an increase in ASB and calls for service with large groups of youths hanging around on High Street, Swadlincote. This behaviour is having a negative impact on local businesses and the community.

In order to proactively tackle any anti-social behaviour, SNT have increased the amount of high visibility patrols on the High Street.

We have implemented a section 34 Dispersal order for the following areas this weekend as a preventative measure to minimise any issues.
The power allows officers to disperse anyone for up to 48 hours who
• Causes harassment, alarm, or distress to the public, or
• Contribute to crime, disorder, or anti-social behaviour.
Removing any under 16’s from the area to a place of safety. Fail to disperse following a request from officers carries a power of arrest.
** Parents – SNT would like to direct appeal to yourselves to ensure you know the whereabouts of your children and where they intend to go **

⚖️ Fly-tipping is a serious criminal offence for which you can be prosecuted. Before you pay someone to take away your rubbish think of the SCRAP code.

We have had reports of possible bogus callers visiting properties in Midway stating they are from Derbyshire Council. These individuals may attempt to gain access to properties or obtain personal information under false pretences.

We urge all tenants and residents to remain vigilant:
• Always ask for official identification from anyone claiming to represent the Council.
• Do not allow anyone into your home unless you are certain of their identity.
• If in doubt, close the door and contact the Council directly to verify whether a visit has been arranged.
• Report any suspicious activity immediately to the Council and, if you feel threatened or unsafe, contact the police.

Your safety and peace of mind is our top priority. Please help us spread the word and look out for neighbours, especially those who may be more vulnerable.

For verification or to report concerns, contact South Derbyshire District Council on 01283 595795 or email [email protected]
