A public spaces protection order has been implemented by the council
People in Rochdale caught drinking in the street - or riding off-road bikes - could be slapped with a £100 fine... and could fine themselves in court.
The consultation was run between April 3 and June 25, with 1,191 responses overwhelmingly in favour of the plan. Of the residents responding to the survey, 86.65 per cent responded yes to ‘prohibit the consumption of alcohol in public spaces’ and 93.7 per cent responded yes to ‘prohibit the use of MPVs on public spaces and open land’. Following this the council has now put the plan into action, meaning those who breach the order could find themselves in trouble with the authorities.
In some scenarios this has led to paths and parks not being available for public use due to the damage, the cabinet was told. Greater Manchester Police data shared in the meeting papers showed that 79 incidents in relation to antisocial behaviour involving alcohol were recorded between January and December 2023.
