New laws have been approved that will affect those visiting the beaches in North Merseyside.
Last night Sefton Council's Licensing and Regulatory Committee approved the introduction of the Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPO) for coastal and visitor areas. The proposed PSPOs would mean police are able to confiscate alcohol, ban barbeques from the coastline and a ban on groups of 40 or more people without permission.
The PSPOs went through a five-week consultation period where more than 300 groups or individuals were contacted to give their opinions and thoughts on the introduction of these rules. These rules will be monitored by council officials and partner agencies in a bid to maintain the coastline and protect against any damage.
