Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) give us and the Police additional powers to protect public spaces from persistent anti-social or unwelcome behaviour.
Breach of an order may result in a fixed penalty of £500, or an offender can be summoned to appear in court.
PSPOs can be extended, discharged or varied after or during their three-year period.
What does a PSPO mean for me?
Most people won’t be affected by the introduction of a PSPO as they designed to target or address unwanted behaviour caused by a minority of residents or visitors to our District.
