Public Spaces Protection Order

Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPO) were created by the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 to address anti-social behaviour (ASB) in local areas.

The Orders empower local authorities to address nuisances or problems that are detrimental to the local community’s quality of life by imposing conditions on the use of an area that apply to everyone, whether resident or visitor

The broad aim is to keep public spaces welcoming to law abiding people and communities and safe from ASB.
