Disperal Orders on Windrush Square?

[Manick Govinda]

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know whether Dispersal Orders have ever been issued to any street drinkers that might hang out on Windrush Square, particularly around Christmas when a concession was given to Coors Beer for its temporary structure. I'm concerned with how the Anti-Social Behavour Act is cleansing and sanitising central Brixton. Have a look at our campaign website:

Thank you!

There was a post about this on the May thread

http://www.urban75.net/forums/threads/brixton-news-rumour-and-general-chat-may-2015.334540/

Various street drinkers were given an ASB 35 dispersal order today, banning them from Brixton town centre for 48 hours. I've never seen this happening before. There's no right of appeal. If you breach it you get arrested. http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/d_to_g/dispersal_power/

we were talking about this the other day, I had encountered an old pal who told me that since his local had been yupped and his income had declined his only option was to take to a public space with a can or two, the concensus was that instead of penalising such people the council should erect shelters in public spaces thereby providing a convivial and warm space for the less fortunate to enjoy a scoop in the company of others, in fact to do otherwise is rank hypcrisy since it seems that if you have the cash to splash on expensive on-site alcohol you are welcomed with open arms.

A friend of mine sent me a text recently saying that this had become European law

Can't find anything on Google, and frankly, the police here don't need an excuse. Anyone know?

Wish they would issue a dispersal order on that preacher with the loud hailer.

I always thought that the drinkers den at the entrance to Brockwell Park tucked out of the way was a humane way to keep the drinkers dry and out of the way and allow them their own space. Seems to have been gone a long time now

Nothing to do with European law.

I was running in the park today (Saturday) and they had set themselves up nicely alongside but set back from the miniature railway track, almost in the bushes; public but discreet, it kind of works. I didn't notice the train, perhaps it was not running.

I failed to see any train action too.

train in vain

 

[brixtonblade]

I thought train was just Sundays.

Went on it last week and thought it felt pretty quick when you're on it. Felt so old as soon as that thought had formed.

It's fine by me if someone 'disperses' the drunk who got his cock out literally in front of three schoolgirls in the afternoon and pissed in the general direction of the tree. I very nearly lost my temper but he was so gone it would have been pointless.

Rather than get aereated about a single "drunk", why not get angry about the growing bad habit of street-pissing generally, and its relation to local authorities closing down public toilets?

On any given weekend evening, you'll see about a hundred times more street pissers elsewhere around central Brixton than you'll see in Windrush Square.

Obviously, zero street pissers would be great, but with more and more bars and restaurants opening up in and around central Brixton and almost no public toilets, it's inevitable. Brixton Village is one of the worst culprits, and now there's a bar at the new Granville space too.

And what do the council say? "Use Maccy D's khazis" and "what about the pissoir?".

 

[FridgeMagnet]

There is already a perfectly serviceable law against getting your knob out in public, anyway, which requires no dispersal orders or similar to be used.

I live here, I know. As you may have discerned from my post my particular annoyance was with a mature man getting his cock out in the afternoon e.g. after school, in front of school girls.

Just in case your yet another of this message board angry non-experts, could you share an example of the law of which you speak?

and you no doubt told him in no uncertain terms what you thought of his behaviour, didn't you?

bit like you, really, pointless. there is no point to this little anecdote of yours.

just separate him from the megaphone.

I'm sure you're right but the other poster made the original legal assertion so it would also be interesting to see what they have to say.

didn't you?

didn't you? didn't you? didn't you? Honk! honk! honk!

so what you're saying is you didn't have the wherewithal, the mental firmness, to confront this gentleman but instead you frothed away then and now you're frothing away again. not only that but also you've demonstrated you are brim full of fucking fail; you can't even manage to post a picture.
