2. Must not sit or loiter in any public place or area where the public have access with a sign or item or hold your hand out to any person in a manner that would reasonably give another person the impression that you are begging or intending to beg.

3. Must not act in an anti-social manner in a manner that causes or is likely to cause or is likely to cause an adverse impact on the quality of life of others.
