Following the decision of the Communities, Parks and Leisure Policy committee on 9th December 2024, we are now seeking the views and experience of organisations regarding the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO), its impacts, successes and consequences.
In the first three months from the implementation of the PSPO:
990 breaches of the PSPO have been recorded, involving 219 individuals.
In 350 of breaches, the individual was offered advice about the PSPO or directed to support pathways and welfare services.
Officers confiscated drugs or alcohol in 99 cases.
In 354 instances, individuals were asked to move out of an area.
62 people have received Notices of Intended Action (NIAs). While PSPOs can be enforced with fines, the NIA process emphasises a preventative approach, prioritising advice and guidance to help individuals comply with the order.
No Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) have been issued to date.
Please could you complete the following questionnaire, which will inform a report to the Policy Committee in November.
The closing date for completing this survey is 22nd September 2025.
