A man has been issued with an anti-social behaviour injunction for persistently being caught drinking alcohol, shouting and swearing on the streets of Worksop after action was taken by Bassetlaw District Council.
Daniel Wilson, of Plantation Hill was issued with the injunction at Mansfield County Court on May 14 by a district judge following an application from the council, supported by Nottinghamshire Police to prevent him from committing further acts of anti-social behaviour in the town.
The injunction will remain in force for two years until May 14, 2027 and a power of arrest was ordered, which means Wilson will be liable for arrest by the police if he is found to be in breach of the injunction.
Cllr Darrell Pulk, Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods said: “We want to make sure our town centres are a place that people want to visit and increase the feelings of safety.
“This latest prosecution sends a clear message we will target individuals whose behaviour is in breach of our Public Space Protection order and has a negative effect on residents and visitors alike.”
In a separate case, Wilson was convicted in his absence at Nottingham Magistrates Court on 12th May 2025 for breaching the Town Centre’s Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) at least 11 times between September and December last year including shouting and swearing at the council’s Street Wardens.
Wilson is due to be sentenced for this conviction on 7th July 2025 under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.
The Anti-social Behaviour Injunction prohibits Wilson from engaging in conduct which is capable of causing harassment, alarm, distress, nuisance and annoyance to any person going about their lawful business in Worksop Town Centre.
He is restricted from shouting, swearing and using violence or making threats of violence and entering or remaining in Worksop Town Centre.
