Dispersal Order working well??? Yeah right!!

Myself and a lot of people on my street were very angry this weekend after reading both the Telegraph & Observer, about the Union Road dispersal order has been hailed a success!!

Dispersal order working well in Oswaldtwistle (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Hmmmm?? Me thinks not. Do they actually think that these kids when moved on from Union Road go home, get into their PJ's and sit down in front of Corrie?? No they do not! They move off Union Road and down our street. One night last weekend I was coming down the street on my way home from work at around 11pm there was a group of about 25 of them walking down the street all armed with massive sticks, planks of wood and one of them even had a hammer. Needless to say I felt very intimidated, luckily someone who lives on the street was stood outside their house, so I went and stood with them until they had moved. This person was stood at the door as he had rung the police. I then went home and went up to bed at about 11.30pm. I could hear a lot of shouting and screaming and when I looked out of the window and they were stood at the end of the street shouting at someone (although I couldn't tell who this was at the time, I found out later it was several people who lived on the street who were telling them to move on as suprise. suprise the police hadn't turned up!!)

I'm sorry but it may be a success on Union Road but not down here. This sort of order will never work! Because they will just move on somewhere else to an area where other people live, then they will complain.

In my opinon the only way to deal with it is to set a curfew. When I went to Cornwall they were half way through a curfew trail in Redruth and that seemed to be working very well.

that sounds about right Lolly, if union rd goes quiet, looks good in the media n their eyes.

they should have n order to enable em to deal with the problem, NOT move it.

A whole load of them had a big fire in the nature reserve, on Friday night I think, which may explain them carrying wood.

At the end of the day its down to the parents to make sure their kids toe the line, when I was young I was told that time to be in and if I wasn't I didn't go out the next night, simple as that. The authorities can only do so much, discipline starts in the home

maybe they where going to build a house with the wood and hammer?

ok sorry, i'll get my coat

Hee hee!!

Jaysay, I agree completely. Which is why a curfew would be a good idea. If the parents dont give their children the disipline to stick to it then they get a fine!

yeah there's a song about that.. "build a bonfire put the scousers on the top..stick the city in the middle and burn the lot."....not a nice song but seems to be the attitude of the old codgers on here regarding our kids

Obviously you don't have a problem with the little gits Mancie........IMO the little gits who cause these problems should be on the top, and I would light the fire

Did your mate get a log number for the incident and then call back later when it was still going on to find out what they had done?

Also if a similar problem occurs the following night phone up quoting the log number. It starts to make their figures look bad when you keep using the same incident number and say it can't be closed because it has not been resolved.

S/he could always speak with the local Inspector as well.

I think killing children is a bit over the top don't you. We all know the biggest problem is the parents anyway.
