A spokesman for Heritage Tram Tours, which runs historic trams along the Fylde coast for enthusiasts, told police in the town there had been "problems" with "youths deliberately blocking the tramway" at Thornton Gate.

Police were forced to put into place a dispersal order from 5pm on Friday until the same time on Sunday, which gave officers the ability to force people to leave the area.

This latest anti-social behaviour came only a day after police were made aware of several vile graffiti drawings on the seawall in Cleveleys.

Where are the parents?.maybe if they were made to pay a fine for their unruly kids something might get done!Lisa Hall

This thing is annoying as nothing ever gets done, the police are sitting on their hand, the courts can’t do anything useful. Government need to tackle this problem that has creeped in over the years. Borstal, national service, cane at schools , thick ears handed out from parents etc. But that’s not going to happen.Tom Martin

They are probably enjoying the notoriety.Bill Cavanagh
