Officers from the Worksop South Beat Team arrested a 55-year-old male on Monday (March 31) for being drunk and disorderly in Worksop Town Centre.
The individual will also face further processing for breaching the Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) by consuming alcohol within the town centre.
The PSPO is currently in place until June 17, 2025.
The PSPO in Worksop Town Centre was implemented to tackle persistent issues such as anti-social behaviour, public drinking, and other activities that cause nuisance, harassment, alarm, or distress to residents and visitors.
Bassetlaw District Council is currently consulting residents and businesses on renewing the Public Space Protection Orders that cover Worksop and Retford Town Centres for another three years until June 17, 2028.
The consultation and a full list of the proposed prohibitions, draft orders and maps of the designated areas for the Worksop and Retford can be found online at www.bassetlaw.gov.uk/pspo-survey.
The Consultation will run until April 28. Paper copies are available from Retford and Worksop Town Halls.
Cllr Lynne Schuller, Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods at Bassetlaw District Council said: “Public Space Protection Orders are a valuable tool in tackling Anti-Social Behaviour in Worksop and Retford. PSPOs make it easier to take action against street drinking, those under the influence of illegal substances and those causing nuisance, harm and distress.
“These are issues that are important to residents and visitors and we want to ensure that members of the public feel safe when visiting our town centres. The consultation will be open for six weeks and I encourage everybody to have their say.”
