PUBLIC SPACES PROTECTION ORDER

PUBLIC SPACES PROTECTION ORDER

#VisibleLocalTrusted | Did you know that a number of hotspot locations across the Cannock Chase District are covered by a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) to help tackle anti-social behaviour?

These orders give officers additional powers to deal with individuals whose behaviour is causing nuisance, alarm or distress to others. They are one of the tools we use to help keep our communities safe and ensure public spaces can be enjoyed by everyone.

If you are found to be breaching the conditions of a PSPO, you could be required to leave the area and may be issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice or face further enforcement action.

We know that anti-social behaviour can have a significant impact on local residents and visitors. That's why we continue to work proactively with partner agencies, using all available powers, including PSPOs, to address issues and improve community safety. We are working closely alongside Cannock Chase District Council, as well as their CCTV Control Room, which has a direct link to officers on the ground. This partnership allows us to respond quickly to issues and helps ensure that those engaging in anti-social behaviour are identified and dealt with appropriately.

Together, we can make Cannock Chase a safer and more enjoyable place for everyone.
