Where there is a PSPO in place, Section 63 of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 states that:
It is an offence to consume alcohol in this area when ordered not to do so by a Police Officer or other Authorised Officer.
It is an offence to refuse to surrender alcohol or a container for alcohol in this area when ordered to do so by a Police Officer or other Authorised Officer
Offenders may be issued with a £100 Fixed Penalty Notice or prosecution resulting in a maximum fine of £500 for either of these breaches of the PSPO.
Areas where Alcohol PSPO’s are currently in place are listed below and can be viewed on our detailed map.
A constable or authorised person may issue a fixed penalty notice (FPN) of £100 to any person they have reason to believe committed an offence under this PSPO.
To pay a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) by a credit or debit card, please contact Milton Keynes Council on 01908 691691. You will need to quote your FPN reference number and the date it was issued so that the payment can be processed. An FPN will be discounted to £75.00 if payment is received within 14 days of the date that the FPN was issued.
