    Under the Act, the Council can:


    • set blanket restrictions and requirements.
    • set targeted restrictions and requirements against certain behaviours by certain groups at certain times.
    • restrict access to public spaces (including certain types of highway) where that route is being used to commit anti-social behaviour.


    PSPOs can be enforced by a Police Officer, a Police Community Support Officer, or Council Officers.

    • Behaviour being restricted has to be:
      1. having, or be likely to have, a detrimental effect on the quality of life of those in the locality.
      2. persistent or continuing in nature; and
      3. unreasonable,


    thereby justifying the PSPO.

    • Any person who without reasonable excuse:
      1. does anything that they are prohibited from doing by a PSPO; or
      2. fails to comply with a requirement to which the person is subject under a PSPO, will commit an offence and could be liable to; prosecution and a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale (currently £1,000); or being issued with a fixed penalty notice not exceeding £100.
