Nottingham Eyes Face Covering Ban | Nottingham News

Nottingham City Council is moving to ban face coverings in the city center, fueled by public outcry and recent violent incidents—including a machete attack at last year’s Winter Wonderland. The proposed ban, part of a broader Public Space Protection Order, would target balaclavas, scarves, and masks while allowing exemptions for religious, health, or work reasons. Police say face coverings fuel fear and crime, and the council plans to enforce it with new Community Protection Officers—potentially ready before next Christmas. Public consultation ends August 14th, with final decisions expected soon. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
