Tell us your views on Public Space Protection Orders
Buckinghamshire Council is seeking the views of residents, businesses and other interested people on extending the current Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) in several locations across the county.
PSPOs are intended to deal with a particular nuisance or problem in a specific area that is detrimental to the local community’s quality of life. The PSPO imposes conditions on the use of that area which apply to everyone. Brought in with the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, PSPOs are designed to ensure that the law-abiding majority can use and enjoy public spaces, safe from anti-social behaviour.
The four areas currently under consultation are:
Those who wish to take part in the consultation should access the individual link for the area they would like to comment on.
Steve Bowles, Cabinet Member for Communities said: “These consultations are an opportunity for anyone who has an interest in any of these areas to say if they would like the PSPOs to remain in place or not. Tackling anti-social behaviour continues to be a high priority for the council and our partners. It is important to us that people are given the opportunity to comment and so I would encourage anyone with an interest to take just a few minutes to take part in the consultation.”
The consultations are open until Monday 28 November.
