Four people in Carlisle have been issued Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) in a bid to prevent behaviour following a number of incidents of public order, drunk and disorderly and assaults in the city centre.

A 43 and 38-year-old woman and a 48 and 39-year-old man issued with the warnings have the following conditions.

  • You must not be found drunk in a public place
  • You must not use foul or abusive language in a public place or cause nuisance to members of the public
  • You must not - Not to urinate/defecate in a public place
  • You must not - Not to consume alcohol from an open container in the area defined by a map provided to the individual, unless within a licensed premises in that area.

Community Beat Officer PC Beal who covers Carlisle City Centre said “Their behaviour is having a detrimental effect on the quality of life for our local community.
