Powers to create PSPOs came into force in October 2014. The Orders replace Designated Public Place Orders (DPPOs), Gating Orders and Dog Control Orders.
'It is an offence for any person in a public space within this area to drink alcohol or anything which a police officer or other authorised person, reasonably believes to be alcohol. In this instance it will only be Wiltshire Police that will issue fines.
A police officer or other authorised person may require any other person to surrender anything in the other person's possession which is, or which the officer or other authorised person reasonably believes to be, alcohol, or a container for alcohol.
Any person, who without reasonable excuse commits an offence, shall be liable on conviction to a maximum fine of £500'
Fixed penalty notices will only be applicable to those that have the ability to pay the fine.
