NOTICE OF INTENDED DESIGNATION OF PUBLIC PLACES FOR THE CONTROL OF ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION
After consultation with residents and businesses, London Borough of Merton has made an Order under s.13(2) of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001.
Under s.12 of that Act, a police officer may require a person in a designated public place
not to consume anything which is or appears to be alcohol, or
to surrender anything which is or which the police officer reasonably believes to be alcohol or a container of such alcohol (other than sealed container) to the police officer who may then dispose of the alcohol as they consider appropriate
if a person fails to comply with a police officer's requirement he/she commits an offence, and may be liable, upon conviction, to a fine up to £500
I would like to thank all residents and businesses who responded to the consultation process.
The Order will be implemented from 24th April 2006.
