Police have been given extra powers in South Woodford to help prevent anti-social behaviour.

Inspector Sher authorised a Section 35 dispersal order for an area of High Road which encompasses the Grange Jaguar Woodford building. 

According to Google Maps, the car showroom is permanently closed. 

The additional powers will mean officers can instruct people to leave the area for up to 48 hours.

The zone will be in place from 8pm this evening (November 1) to 8pm on November 3. 

A closure notice has also been authorised for the garage, which will be in place for the same length of time as the dispersal order. 

Under the closure notice, police will be given the power to remove and arrest those in breach of the orders.
