Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) Extension
PDF 63 KBThe existing PSPO in the Town Centre, which
gives authorised officers an additional power to seize and
confiscate alcohol where it is causing, or is likely to cause,
anti-social behaviour (ASB), is due to expire on 20 October 2023.
While police do have powers to deal with alcohol related ASB, most
allow them only to act when an offence takes place by a specific
person. The PSPO powers allow action to be taken when an offence is
likely to occur.
