Have your say on plans to crack down on dog fouling and alcohol use in Norwich
Public consultations have been launched on the issues
Last updated 26th Mar 2021
Members of the public can have their say on plans to crack down on dog fouling and alcohol use in Norwich.
Until 5 April, a public consultation is running on proposed Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPO) in parts of the city, which would provide more power to tackle the issues.
The PSPO targeting dog fouling would cover the whole of the Norwich boundary, while the one to prevent nuisance alcohol misuse would be located in the city centre.
It would allow police officers and permitted Norwich City Council officers to ask people to stop drinking or surrender it.
Councillor Kevin Maguire, with responsibility for public protection, said: "Getting feedback from the public and local businesses is such an important part of putting these orders in place.
"We believe both orders set out reasonable boundaries, which all residents and visitors can follow but we welcome any comments around the proposals.
"These orders are not put there just because the council can: they are to make sure that Norwich is a safe, clean and livable city for everyone."
The proposals would then go to the council's Cabinet following the consultation and, if approved, be in place until May 2024.
Comments can be left on the Norwich City Council's website.
