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.

The Public Spaces Protection Order 2023 will be in force in Ashfield from 1 March 2023, which will restrict public access in the following locations.

1. Between Spruce Grove and Beacon Drive, Kirkby in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire
