Leigh’s Carolyne Goodall, 52, a mum-of-four, said: “If I hear something has happened, I ring him straightaway. “I do worry about him being in Leigh all the time.This is a step in the right direction though but I don’t think it will solve everything. “I would like to see the £100 fine increased, possibly to even something like £500.” Failure to pay the £100 fines within 14 days could lead to prosecution. A series of dispersal orders have been introduced across Old Leigh in recent months. While 15 teenagers from two gangs which police believe could possibly be linked to two murder investigations, were banned from entering parts of Southend, Rayleigh and Leigh.

As a result of the public adhering to a dispersal order put in place in Old Leigh , police say nobody was ordered to leave last night. An Essex Police spokesman said: We had officers carrying out additional and high visibility patrols in the area to ensure the people who were in the area and enjoying themselves responsibility felt safe. The order remains in place until 6pm on Sunday and we continue to urge people to behave responsibly. Chief Insp Ian Hughes, Southend District Commander, said: “The dispersal order is not a blanket ban on people going to Old Leigh, we want to make sure that those who attend the location can do so safely.
