Following Local Government Reorganisation last year, the three separate PSPOs for the former district councils have or are due to expire and given their important role, the council is proposing a new order for the Westmorland and Furness area.
A PSPO is a tool available to local authorities under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 which helps to address the impact of Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) and make sure that it does not have a detrimental effect to the local community’s quality of life. The orders are intended to help ensure that people can use and enjoy our public spaces and are kept safe from anti-social behaviour.
The consultation invites public participation to gather views on the proposed legal order. The council seeks to address various areas within the PSPO including dog fouling, regulating alcohol consumption and a range of other anti-social activity.
