Police are actively using a range of legal powers to tackle persistent offenders:

Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) letters: Formal warnings issued to individuals involved in disruptive behaviour.
Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) and Community Protection Notices (CPNs): These can impose conditions on individuals to stop specific behaviours.
Dispersal Notices: Used to remove individuals from the area for up to 48 hours.
Targeted arrests: Especially of repeat or prolific offenders.These actions are part of a broader effort to restore safety and public confidence in Glastonbury’s town centre.
