SMOKERS and drinkers in public spaces will be targeted by Frankston Council’s compliance officers. Frankston Council has committed to increasing patrols around the Frankston CBD to enforce public smoking and drinking laws.
The mayor Nathan Conroy said “with more people visiting, working and living in central Frankston, we want to create an enhanced sense of safety by increasing the presence of our local law enforcement officers.” “A variable message sign board will be on display for the duration, conveying council is enforcing local laws, no smoking/vaping, no drinking/open containers and penalties apply,” Conroy said.
More officers will be directed towards Wells Street, Shannon Mall, Young Street, and Station Street. For more information visit frankston.vic.gov.au/Community-and-Health/Public-safety-services/Rapid-Response-Team
