The PSPO is not a ban on drinking in public places, but is in place to tackle anti-social behaviour connected with drinking alcohol.  The PSPO will not affect licensed premises.

The Consultation will allow the Council to seek the views of the public, who live, visit, or work in Milton Keynes, especially in those areas where the PSPO is in place, or affected by the variation of the Order.  These views,  along with the evidence provided by the police, will determine whether the Order is extended for three years and whether the variation will take place.

The views will then be submitted and considered before a formal decision is made.
