The new city centre PSPO (pronounced pispooo) has had the boundaries carefully drawn to finally bring to an end the long running saga of late night drinking at a city night spot causing disturbance to local residents.
However campaigners believe that the decision to ban drinking from Shalesmoor Roundabout is a blow to the plans in place to continue increasing the levels of hospitality and retail in the area as more new accommodation is built.
Some people are also concerned that the order's anti-loitering provisions are a further effort to try and criminalize the homeless rather than offer them any genuine help. However they have been reminded that taking measures against the weakest and most vulnerable in society is now Labour party policy.
