Birmingham City Council is considering the renewal of the Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) to combat anti-social behaviour (ASB) in Birmingham City Centre
PSPO’s are part of the ASB legislation which was introduced nationally in October 2014. This order will provide the Police and designated Council Officers, with additional powers across a defined geographical area, to tackle a wide range of anti-social behaviours.
Prohibitions within the order have been put into place, due to overwhelming reports made to the Police and the Council from residents, businesses and professionals who live, work and travel into Birmingham. The behaviours complained about include urination, defecation, verbal abuse, groups displaying harassing and intimidating behaviours, begging, substance misuse and graffiti. It is proposed that the order is renewed for a further 3 years.
Consultation closes on the 10th December 2024 and seeks your views about this order, please take time to complete. The link to the consultation is below.
