What is a PSPO? The Council can make a PSPO on any public space within the area if it is satisfied that the activities carried out, or likely to be carried out, in a public space: 1) Have had, or are likely to have, a detrimental effect on the quality of life of those in the locality. 2) Is, or is likely to be, persistent or continuing in nature. 3) Is, or is likely to be, unreasonable. 4) Justifies the restrictions imposed. The PSPO can prohibit people from doing certain things in an area, requires specified things to be done by persons carrying out specified activities in an area, or do both of those things. A PSPO can last for up to three years but this time period can be extended if necessary.

Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) are powers introduced by local authorities (under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014) to help deal with a particular nuisance or problem in a particular area that is damaging to the local community's quality of life. Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) are intended to deal with nuisance or problems in an area that cause harm to the quality of life of the local community. The power to make a Public Spaces Protection Order was given to District Councils by the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. Before making an order, the council must consult with the local chief officer of police, and the local policing body, community representatives and the owner or occupier of land within the restricted area. The Council must also notify the County Council and Parish (Town) Council of the proposed order.
