Consultation has concluded

A Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) is a tool available to Councils under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 and are intended to be used to deal with a particular nuisance or problem in a specific area that is having a detrimental effect to the local community’s quality of life, by imposing conditions on the use of that area which apply to everyone. They are intended to help ensure that the law- abiding majority can use and enjoy public spaces, safe from anti-social behaviour.

The proposed areas to be covered by the new PSPOs include Lancaster City Centre, Morecambe, Lower Heysham (Covering Heysham village and barrows), Williamson Park and Happy Mount Park. A proposal has also been submitted by Morecambe BID for a PSPO to permit the installation on a number of alley gates in areas of Morecambe which have become hotspots for fly-tipping. Further information can be found in our Frequently Asked Questions and Maps to the right.

The consultation is now closed and responses are being considered. More detail to follow.
