Should we keep rules around alcohol and behaviour?

Bolton Council’s consultation on alcohol and antisocial behaviour, crime and disorder closes in just over a week (Thursday 05 October). Don’t miss your chance to have your say on this important topic.

The current rules allow the police and authorised personnel to tell people to stop drinking alcohol if they believe it is fuelling anti-social behaviour, crime or disorder. However, the rules are being reviewed and we need to know whether there is support to continue them for another three years.

Bonfire night

As Bonfire night approaches we are aware many licensed premises will be holding events.  Firework displays should be enjoyable occasions but safety is paramount and planning is essential.

The links below give advice on how to run an outdoor firework display safely.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact your local fire station.

Bolton Council is holding a consultation as the current rules are being reviewed and we need to know whether there is public support to continue them.

They allow the police and authorised personnel to tell people to stop consuming alcohol if they believe it is fuelling anti-social behaviour, crime or disorder.
