The powers have been successfully used “more than 5,000” times over the past three years
Powers to prevent people drinking in public places in Nottingham have been extended for another three years in a bid to clamp down on anti-social behaviour. Public Space Protection Orders have been in place across the city centre for the past three years and are due to expire in October this year.
However, he says the order excludes venues which have al fresco dining, such as pubs and bars, as to avoid negative impacts on the local economy. Councillor David Mellen, the leader of the council, who represents Dales Ward for Labour, said it the extension of the powers would not “spoil everybody’s fun”.
“When it was introduced people thought this would be the city council spoiling everybody’s fun and being kill-joys,” he said. “It has not been that at all. It has actually protected people and allowed people to have enjoyment without being subject to people’s bad behaviour once they have had too much to drink.
