We want to hear from you
The Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 gives Local Authorities the ability to make Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs). PSPOs are designed to deal with a particular nuisance or problem in an area that is detrimental to the local community’s quality of life. The PSPO’s impose conditions on the use of that area or restrictions on certain behaviours which apply to everyone.
They are designed to ensure that you can use and enjoy public spaces without experiencing anti-social behaviour.
A fixed penalty notice for up to £100 can be issued to a person who fails to comply with PSPO. If they fail to pay the fixed penalty they can be prosecuted in the Magistrates’ Court and fined up to £1,000.
We wish to hear your views and you can do this by completing the survey. This consultation will run for a period of four weeks, after which the results and comments will be used to provide information to the Council about what should be included within the PSPO. Once this is decided they will be sign posted at the sites in the Borough affected by the PSPO.
