Section 140: Alcohol disorder zones: repeal

376.This section repeals Chapter 2 of Part 1 of the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 which makes provision for local authorities to designate an area in which there is alcohol related nuisance or disorder as an Alcohol Disorder Zone.  Alcohol Disorder Zones enable local authorities to put in place a number of steps to reduce the nuisance and disorder, and also to impose charges on premises and clubs which supply alcohol within an Alcohol Disorder Zone.  No Alcohol Disorder Zones have been designated under this provision.  Chapter 2 makes alternative provisions for a late night levy on licensed premises.
