🚫 Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) Enforcement in Stone Town Centre

As part of our ongoing commitment to #ProblemSolvingPolicing in Stone Town Centre, local officers—working in partnership with Stafford Borough Council—took action on Thursday 16th October to address repeated breaches of the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO).
