Public Space Protection Orders

Public Space Protection Orders (PSPO) help us to deal with problems like dog fouling, or anti-social behaviour that might be causing a problem in a particular place.

This park may fall within one of these areas. Find where there are PSPOs in place and what we can do to enforce them on your local PSPO pages.
