This report will review progress of the
alcohol zone in Rochester following the first 6 months of
operation. The report will ask Cabinet to consider a number of
recommendations from the Health and Community Services Overview and
Scrutiny Committee.
336/2004 The Cabinet agreed that the Rochester
alcohol control zone should be continued indefinitely.
337/2004 The Cabinet agreed that additional street signage will be
provided in the zone, to facilitate public awareness and
enforcement as quickly as possible.
338/2004 The Cabinet noted the recommendations and comments made by
the Health and Community Services Overview and Scrutiny
Committee.
Consultation with residents, traders and
licensees in the zone found that 80% of respondents believed it was
having a positive effect. Officers are currently exploring options
of joint enforcement through police officers and accredited
community safety officers, which will form one of the powers
granted through the Community Safety Street Team's accreditation
process.
