Engagement on the Introduction of Alcohol Byelaws in the Scottish Borders 17 June 2013 to 17 January 2014

Do you think Byelaws prohibiting the consumption of alcohol in designated public places in the Scottish Borders should exist? (These Byelaws do not apply to private spaces like a back garden or any outdoor licensed area like a licensed beer garden)

The proposed exemptions to the Byelaws are 1) Border Common Ridings and local Summer Festivals, 2) Hogmanay - New Year's Eve. Do these exemptions make sense?
