Dear Sir / Madam

I am writing to inform you of the proposed introduction of a Designated Public Place Order (DPPOs) covering all of Greenwich Borough. You may already be aware of DPPOs and areas they cover, often known as `Alcohol Controlled Zones', as there are currently orders in place in Woolwich and Greenwich town centres.

The Order allows a constable, and other accredited persons under section 41, section 42 and schedule 5 of the Police Reform Act to require a person, in a designated place, not to drink alcohol in that place if the officer reasonably believes that a person has consumed or intends to do so, and to surrender the alcohol and any opened or sealed containers in the person's possession. Any person who fails without reasonable excuse to comply with a constable's request under this provision may commit an offence and be liable to prosecution.

This will not affect the day-to-day trading of your premises as it does not cover your premises or areas within the curtilage of your premises. It will only affect your customers if they are drinking alcohol in other public places.

If you wish to make representations about the proposed order you should send them in writing to the Community Safety Team, at the address above, or alternatively email [email address], by (insert date).

For more information about the DPPO, please contact licensing on …

Yours sincerely

Community Safety and Integrated Enforcement
