They are made up of police officers and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs), supported by Special Constables.

There has been a great deal of confusion about the designated public places order in Brighton & Hove since it’s introduction and the aim of this article is to correct a few of the misconceptions you may have.

The designated public places order (DPPO) was introduced in Brighton & Hove in 2003 to tackle anti social behaviour related to street drinking. The DPPO gives the police the power to request that a person hands over their drink if they are found being anti social on the street with alcohol in their possession. Failure to hand over a drink when asked to do so by a police officer is a criminal offence and can result in arrest and on conviction a maximum £500 fine.
There is a common misconception that the DPPO is a ban on street drinking, it is not and the police will only request that alcohol is handed over if there is associated anti social behaviour. In order to publicise the DPPO the council is currently going through the process of updating the street signs and you may see these new signs being installed around the city over the coming months. The DPPO covers the whole of Brighton & Hove however you are only likely to come across signs in the areas that have been identified as having problems with street drinking.

The DPPO is not designed to work in isolation and it is backed up by regular patrols by the police and intensive work with individuals by the anti social behaviour outreach team. Jenny Knight Anti Social Behaviour Co-ordinator

Brighton & Hove City Council has set up a scrutiny panel to look at how street access is affected by items placed on public walkways, such as A-Boards and scaffolding.

Three public meetings and a number of site visits are planned to find out what the issues are for residents and businesses.

The Street Access Issues Scrutiny Panel will talk to a variety of people, especially those with disabilities, about how restricted access to the pavement affects them. Members will also talk to businesses about their requirements.

The Panel will review current council policies relating to skips and scaffolds, A-Boards, tables and chairs, overhanging vegetation and abandoned vehicles.

Anyone wishing to contribute evidence to the meetings should contact the council in advance on (01273) 291110 or email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

The first public meetings will be held on:
Friday, 31 July, 10:30am-12:30pm, Hove Town Hall
Thursday, 13 August, 10:30am-12:30pm, Hove Town Hall

The Overview and Scrutiny Commission at Brighton and Hove City Council have set up a Scrutiny Panel to look at the ‘Street Access Issues’. The Panel consists of Councillors Rufus (Chairman), Pidgeon, Bennett, Watkins and Hawkes. Part of this investigative panel work is to gather evidence from interested parties.

Initially the Panel would like to invite your organisation to provide a short written summary of evidence (no more than one side of A4) outlining the issues as you see them and what your main points would be if you were invited to present the evidence in person.
