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.
They set out specific conditions on how an area can be used. These conditions apply to everyone and are designed to ensure that you can use and enjoy public spaces safe from anti-social behaviour.
