Dispersal Zones in London
I've been looking at other dispersal zones in London. I guestimate there to be 100s of dispersal zones in London, i'm working on giving a more concrete figure in the very near future - this information is difficult to get hold of!
The approaches to implementation within the 33 London boroughs are broadly similiar - minimal consultation and awareness-raising), but there are two note-worthy London Authorities.
Bromley Borough Police - Neighbourhood Safety teams
All teams maintain a webpage offering latest community safety news and even better - they publish copies of most (not all) their Dispersal Orders (in PDF format) .
London Borough of Tower Hamlets
I'm really quite impressed with this approach. Tower Hamlets council have renamed "Dispersal Zones" to "Good Behaviour Zones" now how positive is that? They also say they are "actively promoting all of the positive activities that are available for people locally to get involved in." bit vague perhaps.. And they are careful to highlight in bold letters "The powers under the Good Behaviour Zone will only be used to tackle those causing, or likely to cause, anti-social behaviour".
