Issue details
Proposed Public Space Protection Orders to restrict alcohol consumption in public spaces, Bath and Midsomer Norton
The Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 gave
the Police the power to seize and dispose of alcohol if they
believed someone is, has or is about to consume it where a
Designated Public Place Order is in force. Failure to comply with
the Police request was made an arrestable offence and punishable by
a fine. Councils were given the power to “designate”
and make a Designate Public Place Order where they were satisfied
that nuisance or annoyance to members of the public or a section of
the public, or disorder, had been associated with consumption of
alcohol in that place.
