The Local Authorities (Alcohol Consumption in Designated Public Places) Regulations 2007
These Regulations consolidate with amendments the Local Authorities (Alcohol Consumption in Designated Public Places) Regulations 2001 (“the 2001 Regulations”) which are revoked by regulation 11(1)(a) of these Regulations. These Regulations set out the procedure to be followed by local authorities in connection with orders designating a public place under section 13 of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 (“the 2001 Act”). Once an order is made under that section in relation to a public place in their area, the police powers under section 12 of the Act (to require a person not to consume intoxicating liquor and to surrender opened containers of such liquor) will be available.
