Alcohol-free Zones

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the effect on antisocial behaviour of alcohol-free zones in towns.
Answer

Designated public place orders (DPPO) are an opportunity for alcohol free zones to be adopted according to local authority assessment of alcohol related crime and disorder on public highways or in parks. The use of a DPPO tends to be part of a wider local strategy to tackle antisocial behaviour and drink related disorder. Therefore, to evaluate the effectiveness of DPPOs on their own would not be practical.
