A consultation on the proposals showed broad support for the measures, Durham County Council says.
Durham County Council's cabinet is being asked to agree a Public Space Protection Order for the city to tackle actions such as begging, urinating in the street and using "intoxicating substances".Councillor John Shuttleworth said anti-social behaviour had created "a somewhat negative impression of Durham".A consultation on the measures took place between 10 May and 23 June and received more than 400 responses.
Almost 90% backed a PSPO to control urinating and the use of intoxicating substances, the local authority added. Shuttleworth said: "It's clear that the majority of people who responded support the proposed measures after witnessing begging, urinating and substance misuse in the city over the last two years.
