PSPOs - an introduction


Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) are one of a range of measures introduced by the Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB), Crime and Policing Act 2014 (the Act) to combat ASB.


A PSPO identifies a public space (the Restricted Area) and prohibits certain activities within that area and/ or requires certain things to be done by persons engaging in certain activities within that area. PSPOs should focus on identified problem behaviour(s), rather than targeting specific individuals or properties. A breach of a PSPO is a criminal offence. The PSPO gives the police and authorised Officers of the Council powers to confiscate alcohol from a minority of drinkers whose excessive drinking causes problems for others in public spaces.
