POWERS to combat antisocial behaviour on two Bicester estates have been extended until April 30, 2007.

The dispersal orders in the King's End and Greenwood areas were launched in April.

Police research showed the problems included groups of young people drinking, criminal damage and youths "begging" adults to buy them alcohol.

The order gives police the power to move groups of two or more people away from the estate between 5pm and 6am.
