Other figures show that begging and vagrancy cases are down by 80% in the drink-free zone and anti-social nuisance and noise rates have fallen by 10% and 15% respectively.
Police said there was a 57% reduction in "youth-related annoyance" compared to the three months before the trail, and a 51% fall in all anti-social type incidents, including drink-related offences, criminal damage and noise nuisance.
Mr Poots said it was a large and complex bill covering matters as widespread as anti-social behaviour, dog fouling, noise nuisance from burglar alarms, and graffiti.
