This has been put in place in an attempt to prevent members of the public being harassed, alarmed and distressed.
The order will be reviewed on its conclusion, and can be brought back into place if police consider it necessary.
Crimes and anti-social behaviour can be reported to Cleveland Police at any time via the 101 number, or online via the Cleveland Police website.
