Public spaces protection order alcohol control

 

 

This report seeks authority to introduce the public spaces protection order (PSPO) for alcohol consumption under the Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014 to replace the previous Alcohol Consumption in Designated Public Places orders made under the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001, which has now been repealed.

 

The public protection order will apply, in the designated areas within Bromyard, Hereford, Ledbury, Leominster and Ross on Wye, to a person consuming or intending to consume alcohol in a designated public place and when a person is likely to cause or has caused disorder. In such cases this person can be required to stop and have the alcohol confiscated whether the drinking vessel is opened or not.
