The Designated Public Place Order (DPPO) in Woodhouse was reviewed by the Licensing Committee. Members were of the opinion that the DPPO is having a positive impact on reducing alcohol related anti-social behaviour/disorder in the area.
Since the implementation of the Woodhouse DPPO in April 2011, a new park has been created on the boundary of the area covered by the Order called Tannery Park.
Residents and businesses in Woodhouse were consulted as to whether the Order should be extended to include the park to allow the Police to use their powers to address public nuisance or annoyance associated with the consumption of alcohol.
The outcome of the consultation showed that people in the area welcomed the extension and the extension has now been approved.
The Order map is attached depicting the entire area the Order covers - the area edged in red is the original DPPO area and the area edged in green is the now approved extension area.
