The Council is satisfied that the conditions set out in Section 59,64 and 72 of the Act have been satisfied and that it is in all the circumstances expedient to make this Order to reduce the detrimental effect or to reduce the risk of crime and anti-social behaviour and its continuance, occurrence or reoccurrence in the Restricted Area, which has had a detrimental effect on the quality of life of those in the locality. The effect or likely effect of this is persistence or continuing nature such as to make this unreasonable, and justified the restrictions imposed by this Order.
