Background

Ban face coverings in all public spaces to tackle intimidating anti-social behaviour and harassment. Those in breach of this ban should pay a fixed penalty notice of £5000 or serve 6 months in prison. People wearing face coverings for genuine religious or health reasons should be exempted.

Additional details

We want to ban face coverings in public spaces to tackle intimidating, anti-social behaviour and harassment caused particularly by young people on electric bicycles. We believe a ban could restore public safety, transparency and decrease crime.
