Agenda item

To note the findings of the report and the evidence that street drinking control measures in place continue to be a valuable control measure and that there is no evidence to support any variations or extensions to the current arrangements.

 Members of the committee were provided with an evaluation on the use and effectiveness of street drinking control zones within the borough. There had been consultation with stakeholders on the effectiveness of the zones. This included discussions with the Police, Neighbourhood Managers and councillors where no increased concerns had been reported. Therefore there were no recommendations to extend the controlled street drinking zones. 

Members noted on going work to improve the interpretation of controlled street drinking signs.

RESOLVED

That members noted the findings of the report and the evidence that street drinking control measures in place continue to be a valuable control measure and that there was no evidence to support any variations or extensions to the current arrangements.
