TOTAL BAN ON BOOZE

Street drinking to be outlawed throughout borough

STREET drinking is to be banned throughout Camden under radical new plans being hammered out at the Town Hall.
Tough tactics to squeeze out nuisance drinkers will see the entire borough being turned into a Controlled Drinking Zone (CDZ).
Police will gain discretionary powers to confiscate alcohol and pour booze down the drain.
Drinkers who refuse to hand over their beer could face arrest and a night in the cells.
A pilot scheme has so far been restricted to Camden Town and thin strips of Kentish Town but the new measures will affect every single street in the borough.
In another important change, the new zone will not be solely targeted against street drinkers with entrenched addictions but also used to curb the behaviour of rowdy leisure time drunks.
Details of how the scheme will work in practical terms have yet to be finalised and discussions are continuing over how the ban could be enforced. Council officials will study how similar measures have worked in neighbouring Westminster.
