A DISPERSAL order has been put in place in Southend after concerns were raised about a car meet which may take place this weekend.
The order is now in place until 11.59pm on Monday, Essex Police said.
A spokesman for the force said: “The order has been put in place to prevent related crime and anti-social behaviour and to prevent those living in the area being harassed, alarmed or distressed.
“It gives officers powers to move anyone believed to be behaving anti-socially from the area.
“The dispersal order includes the area Marine Parade, Pier Hill, Western Esplanade and Chalkwell Esplanade.”
