Public place drinking orders

There are 20 Designated Public Place Orders (DPPOs) across the district which assist the police with tackling alcohol related anti-social behaviour.

Where an order is in force the police have the power to ask someone to hand over their alcohol, including any unopened containers, if they are behaving anti-socially or are likely to do so.

Anti-social behaviour can include violence, criminal damage and disorderly conduct. If the person refuses to give up their alcohol they could be given a fixed penalty fine or arrested and fined up to £500.
