Simple terms explainer
Councils can issue a formal Exclusion Order banning someone from specific council land or premises for up to one year if they have repeatedly broken—or tried to break—the management rules and are likely to do so again. This is a serious step used to protect public spaces and ensure they remain safe and welcoming. Only the council itself can make this decision; it cannot be delegated to an officer.
