Decision details

2017/9/PH Reduce the Strength Campaign

Decision Maker: Director of Public Health

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

As a response to street drinking, anti social behaviour and alcohol related health in DOncaster, Public Health would like to initiate a Reduce the Strength Campaign for Off licences in Doncaster Town Centre and the adjoining Cumulative Impact Zone (CIZ)

Decision:

To implement the Reduce the Strength Initiative within the Town Centre and Cumulative Impact Zone.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - An alternative approach would be for identified street drinker in and around the town centre and would be made known to local off-licences in the town centre ward to ensure those individuals were not served. However this would require provision of community safety and policing support to help shopkeepers refuse sales.
Option 2 - do nothing and accept current levels of harm and demand on services.
