# The Local Authorities (Alcohol Consumption in Designated Public Places) Regulations 2001, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations set out the procedure to be followed by local authorities in connection with orders designating a public place under section 13 of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001. Once an order is made under that section in relation to a public place in their area, the police powers under section 12 of the Act (to require a person not to consume intoxicating liquor and to surrender opened containers of such liquor) will be available.
Regulations 3 and 4 set out the consultation requirements before making an order. Regulations 5 to 9 set out the publicity requirements before and after making an order. Regulation 10 adds the power to make an order under section 13(2) to those functions of a local authority in England which are not to be the responsibility of the executive.
