CONSULTATION has started in Winyates asking the public their views on banning the drinking of alcohol in and around the Winyates Centre.
Police have been given powers to confiscate alcohol or impose a £500 fine on those who refuse to comply.
The police and Redditch Council are trying to get an alcohol-free zone introduced in the area following anti-social behaviour.
The consultation period will continue to January 11.
