Kidderminster Town Centre Public Space Protection Order - Alcohol consumption

There is currently a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in place in Kidderminster Town Centre.

Officers can order people drinking in these areas to stop, hand over any alcohol or dispose of the alcohol, with people who fail to do so face on-the-spot fines of up top to £100.00, or up to £1,000.00 if the case goes to court.

This PSPO is intended to tackle street drinking and related nuisance behaviour in Kidderminster Town Centre by providing police, police community support officers and council officers (where designated) with certain powers.

A PSPO is not an outright ban on street drinking. Consuming alcohol in a public place is not an offence, unless you fail to comply with an officer’s request. The PSPO covering Kidderminster Town Centre does not make it illegal to carry or drink alcohol, so long as drinking is done responsibly. The PSPO will only be used to tackle alcohol related anti-social behaviour or disorder.
