Two teenagers have been issued with dispersal orders after climbing on Nottingham Council House.

Two teenagers, aged 13 and 14, were detained by Nottinghamshire Police after climbing on the roof of Nottingham Council House in Old Market Square on Wednesday. According to neighbourhood policing sergeant Dan Butler, the boys were returned to their parents and will undergo community resolution and safeguarding measures.

The force issued the teenagers with 48-hour dispersal notices after determining no criminal evidence had been found. The incident comes days after a major fire in the city at the Escobar building in Market Street on Monday, which left roof trusses 'quite highly fire-damaged' according to Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Two boys, aged 12 and 14, were arrested in connection with that fire.
