Public Spaces Protection Order 2023
Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) are intended to deal with a particular nuisance or problem in areas that are considered detrimental to the local community’s quality of life.
A PSPO works by imposing conditions on the use of that area which apply to everyone. They are designed to ensure that the law-abiding majority can use and enjoy public spaces without experiencing crime or anti-social behaviour. A PSPO remains in place for a period of 3 years unless discharged by the Local Authority.
