Etterbeek issues police ordinance regarding public alcohol consumption

Authorities in Etterbeek have issued a police ordinance to regulate the consumption of alcoholic beverages in public spaces, specifically around the Carrefour de la Chasse. The decision follows daily complaints regarding public insecurity and the obstruction of sidewalks.

Reports indicate that individuals consuming alcohol near local businesses, such as the Himi butchery, have caused safety hazards by blocking pedestrian paths used by buses and trucks. The ordinance also addresses issues with littering and the obstruction of cash points, which has reportedly made residents and customers feel unsafe.
