TROUBLEMAKERS have been barred from Hyndburn Sports Centre under a scheme to reduce anti-social behaviour.
Reports of rowdy behaviour in, and around, the sports centre most evenings and weekends led neighbourhood police to increase patrols there.
A security plan implemented at the centre has already seen some offenders being identified and barred.
