The problem is the last paragraph:

"However, decisions may be made locally to restrict photography, for 
example to protect children. Any Questions on such local decisions 
should also be addressed to the force concerned"

1
This suggests that the Police many make up their own laws as they go 
along.

2
This specifically says " to protect children"

This basically says the police can make local laws to stop you 
photographing anything and specifically children.

Something along these lines came up at a local residents/council/police 
meeting.  One of the problem is vandalism and petty crime by high school 
children out of school in the lunch break

When some one suggested photographing these alleged criminals committing 
crimes in a public place out of school and passing the photos the School 
representative and the PCSO said it was illegal to take photographs of 
children.  Which is false.

Letters like the one you have would tend to confirm that view not 
sup****t the photographer.
