Police have issued a dispersal order in Filey after a spate of anti-social behaviour and vandalism.
North Yorkshire Police say that damage has been caused in Filey and verbal anti-social behaviour has been directed at their officers, which has resulted in a dispersal authority being issued by the Duty Inspector.
The dispersal order means that if a person, over the age of 10, engages in anti-social behaviour, in the area marked on the map, then they may face being given a direction to leave the area.

The person can then be restricted from the area for up to 48 hours.
Young people may find themselves being taken home to the responsibility of their parents, guardians or carers.
Any person found breaching the dispersal, may find themselves arrested for the offence.
North Yorkshire Police say:
"The authority is granted under section 35 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.
This has been authorised to remove or reduce the likelihood of members of the public in the locality of being harassed, alarmed or distressed and to prevent crime and disorder."
Both Filey and Scarborough Neighbourhood Policing Officers were deployted in the town on Thursday night after reports of 10 - 12 youths throwing glass bottles off the cliff on to the beach, nearly hitting families.
Officers said:
"We already have several youths being dispersed and then returned to their parents tonight.
Parents, if you have your young people out tonight in Filey, please make contact with them to ensure that they are ok and not caught up in the disorder."
The dispersal authority has been granted until Saturday 27 July 2024 at 4:39pm.
