Classic Rock   10 #1 Posted November 20, 2006 In December last year an alcohol restriction zone was introduced into the city centre to stop people drinking in the street. Many cities around the country have this zone in place to assist police with crowd control, reduce problems when pubs and clubs turn out, assist with football fans in the city and to reduce anti social behaviour...  Do you have any tales to tell since the zone was introduced? Is the city centre safer now as a result of this zone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Rooty   10 #7 Posted November 20, 2006 I didn't know there was one, i used to regularly see 3 men drinking beer or cider at the bottom of the moor when i used to catch my bus up that way, and this was in a morning and even today saw a lovely young lady walking along with a can of cheap lager at 10.30am down castle market Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Classic Rock   10 #9 Posted November 20, 2006 Here's the link from last year's thread  http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/archive/index.php/t-79375.html  It's not just about street drinkers, it's about when you are out and about at night in the city centre, to protect people from those fuelled up with drink and chucking bottles around. It's about football fans who spill out of pubs with glasses in their hands before and after matches. It's about helping the police with the large number of potentially violent situations.
