In August 2008, Suffolk
Coastal introduced amended designation orders in Felixstowe,
restricting the drinking of alcohol in public places
(particularly along the seafront), following consultation with
Felixstowe Town Council, the police and public.
A meeting of the Council's Cabinet on 3 June 2008 gave its
go-ahead to the changes and these were officially backed by Full
Council on 26 June. Amended designation orders came into force
on 18 August 2008.
