Bradford extends anti-drinking order to 2028 amid ongoing public safety concerns.
Bradford City Council has extended its Public Spaces Protection Order until 2028 to tackle street drinking and anti-social behavior in the city center and towns like Keighley, Shipley, and Bingley, citing ongoing concerns over public intoxication, aggression, and fear among residents and visitors.
The order allows wardens and police to confiscate alcohol and issue fines, with enforcement strengthened by increased police support.
A public consultation showed strong backing, though many still view the issue as serious.
Officials note those affected often face substance dependency and trauma, living in poor housing.
Hotspots include Ivegate, Kirkgate, Bow Street, and Manor Lane.
In Bristol, a similar PSPO has been reinstated in Fishponds after a 60% rise in alcohol-related incidents, with 95% resident support.
Both measures aim to balance enforcement with early intervention and support services.
