The tough new rules will apply to anyone climbing the sculpture, stunt cycling, skating and putting contaminants like washing up liquid in the fountains.
Coun Roy Miller said many enjoyed using the facilities but there have been instances where the square has been abused.The new bylaws will be enforced by police.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
