Borough wide Designated Public Place Order
What do we want to know:
This consultation aims to inform the public of the council's intentions to introduce a Designated Public Place Order, covering the whole of the London Borough of Greenwich, and determine if there are any objections to this proposal.
DPPO powers enable local authorities to designate places where restrictions on public drinking apply. However, they can only be used in areas that have experienced alcohol-related disorder or nuisance. This Borough wide order is designed to prevent the displacement of alcohol related disorder to surrounding areas that can occur when they are applied to more restricted areas.
These powers are not intended to disrupt peaceful activities, for example families having a picnic in a park or on the beach with a glass of wine.
Description:
Give us your views by contacting the Community Safety Team at
community-safety@greenwich.gov.uk. and expressing your support or objection. This is open to the public.
Outcome:
It was agreed that a borough wide Designated Public Place Order will be introduced
