Suffolk Coastal has
introduced designation orders to control anti-social drinking
in public in parts of Framlingham, Kesgrave, Martlesham and
Rushmere St Andrew which took effect on 24 August
2007.
Listed below are the areas which have been designated for the
purposes of Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001. In the designated
areas the police have the power to require someone whose behaviour
is deemed to be anti-social to stop drinking the alcohol, and if
requested, hand over the drink. Failure to do so is an arrestable
offence, with a potential fine of up to £500.
All the areas covered by the orders were selected after requests
from the local town councils and the police. These orders are not
intended as being a ban on everyone drinking in these places, but
it gives the police the authority to take action against those who
fuelled by alcohol are acting in an anti-social manner.
