The 6-month council order runs until the 22nd of March 2015, and was sought to combat reports of anti-social behaviour in the area.
Police have the power to move potential troublemakers out of the designated area under Section 30 of the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003.
The roads covered by the order are as follows:
- Melbourne Walk
- Bouverie Walk
- Elizabeth Walk & Elizabeth Street
- Stockley Street

- Spencer Road
- Clare Street
- Carey Street
- Cowper Street

In recent months there has been an increase in anti-social behaviour, street drinking and youths congregating in this area. Police have been working hard to tackle these issues and improve the town.
