A second dispersal order has been put in place in south Essex following reports of fireworks being set off irresponsibly in Benfleet.
The order was authorised at 7.50pm and will run until 5am tomorrow, November 1.
Benfleet’s area of Tarpots, all shops and Tarpots Recreation Ground are part of the order.
Essex Police said the order has been set up as a preventative measure to disrupt incidents of anti-social behaviour in the town during Halloween.
An Essex police spokesman said: “We will have officers in the town, come and talk to us if you have any concerns or have witnessed anti-social behaviour.
“We will not tolerate this type of behaviour in the district.”
