Public Spaces Protection Order

From 15 Aug 2023 to 05 Sep 2023

We are seeking your views on our proposals on Public Spaces Protection orders for the borough. 

The Council has a key role to play in making Royal Greenwich a safe place to live, visit and work, and tackling anti-social behaviour continues to be a high priority. Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) were introduced under the Anti-social Behaviour and Policing Act 2014, to ensure public spaces are areas that are free from anti-social behaviour.
 
PSPOs provide the Council with a wide-range of flexible powers to help tackle anti-social behaviour locally. The Royal Borough of Greenwich, supported by the local police, proposes to replace its existing PSPOs with new orders which aim to tackle a wider range of anti-social issues that are impacting local communities.

Some of these new orders include:

· Foul or abusive language / threatening or intimidating behaviour

· Making comments of a sexual or gender-based nature

· Public urination and defecation

· Aggressive or persistent begging

Our consultation runs from 15 August to 5 September 2023. Make a difference and have your say.
