Man banned from Chester city centre under terms of CBO

A man has been banned from Chester city centre following a successful application for a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO).

Brian Chadd was made subject to a five-year CBO on Tuesday 3rd February 2026 at Chester Magistrates’ Court following evidence of poor behaviour gathered by officers, Chester City Beat Team and ASB officers, in partnership with the local authority.

The 55-year-old is excluded from Chester city centre, highlighted in the attached map, and is prohibited from drinking alcohol in any public place in the Chester West and Chester area, other than in licensed premises.

He must also leave any premises when directed to do so.

Chadd, of no fixed abode, was also handed a 12-week sentence at court after pleading guilty to a number of offences.

This included using threatening or abusive words or behaviour in Chester, causing criminal damage by damaging three bottles of wine from Waitrose, and failing to comply with a Community Protection Notice – all committed on Wednesday 28th January 2026.

Inspector James Wilson said:

“Chester City Beat Team proactively gathered a catalogue of evidence against Chadd, highlighting how he has also recently become aggressive towards police officers and Community Safety Wardens in the Chester area.

“We have worked closely with the local authority and would like to thank them for their involvement. This illustrates strong partnership working and the collaborative approach we take in Chester to tackle this behaviour. This sends a strong message that it will not be tolerated.

“If anyone witnesses Chadd breaching the terms of his CBO upon his release from prison, please call 101 or visit www.cheshire.police.uk/tell-us to report it.”

Councillor Stuart Bingham, Cabinet Member for Community Safety and Neighbourhood Pride, Cheshire West and Chester Council, said:

“A lot of work is involved in addressing anti-social behaviour (ASB).

"ASB or abuse to council staff is not tolerated anywhere in Cheshire West and Chester and the council works closely with Cheshire Police to gather evidence and hold people to account for unacceptable behaviour.

"We want to ensure that Chester, alongside all of our towns and villages, continue to be welcoming and safe places."
