What is a PSPO?

Public Spaces Protection Orders are intended to deal with a particular nuisance or problem in a specific location that is negatively affecting the community's quality of life, by imposing conditions on the use of that area in order to tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB) to ensure we can all use and enjoy public spaces.

They are designed to ensure the law-abiding majority can use and enjoy public spaces without experiencing ASB and apply to everyone.
