Police have been authorised to arrest people who drink alcohol in public places in parts of the Kerrier district in west Cornwall.
In an attempt to curtail anti-social behaviour by drinkers, the Designated Public Place Orders have been issued in Helston, Redruth, Camborne and Portreath. Signs will be put on display in the areas that will be affected by the new laws.
Offenders can face a fine of up to £500 if convicted and police will also have the power to confiscate their alcohol.
The Kerrier District Council introduced the scheme in partnership with the relevant town and parish councils to put an end to aggressive behaviour from drinkers.
