Protect our Community from Alcohol Misuse and Anti-social Behaviour

We the undersigned wish to bring to the attention of all Councillors our grave concern at the increasing frequency and severity in the incidence of Anti-Social Behaviour in the Brunswick and Regency area, and the declining capacity of Police and Council Officers to address this.
We request that Council takes the following actions to fulfil their duty of care to our community:
(a) Takes a firmer stance with alcohol-related Anti-Social Behaviour and uses the new enforcement contract to control drinking of alcohol in public spaces (DPP Order);
(b) Undertakes to adhere firmly to its Statement of Licensing Policy with regard to new or varied alcohol outlets in the Cumulative Impact Area (CIA);
(c) Undertakes to quickly review the licenses of alcohol outlets that breach license conditions in particular regarding off-sales;
(d) Closely monitors and advises premises with new ‘Café Bar’ licenses in the CIA with a view to minimising the risk of license ‘creep’.
We request also that a written response be given to this petition.
