As mentioned, Swale Borough Council is considering a proposal to extend a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) for the area marked on the map. This will allow the Council to use a range of measures to address anti-social behaviour issues and improve public spaces in this area. (these will replace existing Designated Public Place Orders in this area). 

The PSPO proposes a prohibition on the drinking of alcohol within the specified area, other than within the curtilage of public houses or licensed premises. A person seen to be consuming alcohol in this area will be in breach of the Order. An authorised officer will in the first instance explain to them that they are in a Alcohol Control Zone and request them to stop drinking the alcohol and/or ask them to surrender alcohol in open containers. If the same person is seen consuming alcohol again within a reasonable time in a Alcohol Control area (Public Space protection area) after having already been advised and warned, a Fixed Penalty Notice will be issued to them.
