Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) help our local communities by tackling anti-social behaviour. We've had requests to extend them to more public spaces.
Following the implementation of the current orders on 5 November 2024, we are looking to make some amendments to help to improve community safety.
Who we work with
We work with partner organisations to protect public spaces. Our partners include:
- Cumbria Police
- Lake District National Park Authority
- the National Trust
- local groups
Draft PSPO amendments
Our draft amendments aim to address issues through several PSPO orders.
Dog Orders
More play areas would be added as Dog Exclusion zones, where dogs would not be allowed.
A new Dogs on Leads requirement in some Eden areas.
Alcohol and Anti-social Behaviour Orders
The amendments would cover Askam and Dalton areas.
Fire, Barbeques, Vehicles and Structures Orders
The amendments would cover Blea Tarn Little Langdale, Coniston East Shore, and Windermere West Shore.
We want to hear your feedback on the drafts before any final decisions.
