Public Spaces Protection Orders

Public Spaces Protection Orders. (PSPOs), are a range of powers and tools to help tackle anti-social behaviour locally. PSPOs aim to ensure public spaces can be enjoyed free from anti-social behaviour.

Alcohol

The PSPO means that police or other authorised officers can require anyone behaving anti-socially in a public place to stop drinking and hand over their alcohol. In most cases, this works to prevent the nuisance quickly.
