Following last year’s stakeholder consultation, North Somerset Council’s Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) review consultation is now open for residents, businesses and community groups.

The public consultation invites local people to have their say on measures to make public spaces in the area more welcoming for everyone:

PSPOs are an important tool in tackling antisocial behaviour in public spaces such as parks, seafronts and shopping areas. The orders were first introduced by North Somerset Council in 2017 to deter individuals or groups committing antisocial behaviour in specific places in North Somerset.

PSPOs must be reviewed every three years, and the last review took place in 2023. This consultation looks into whether the current PSPOs are fair and appropriate and if any updates are required to ensure they remain effective and targeted.
