Have your say on Public Spaces Protection Orders
Warwick District Council is reviewing current Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) and considering options for creating new ones, and residents are invited to take part in this process.
Published: 12 February 2025
A Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) is intended to deal with nuisance or problems that are detrimental to the local community’s quality of life. PSPOs are designed to ensure that the law-abiding majority are able to enjoy public spaces, safe from anti-social behaviour.
Public Spaces Protection Orders ensure public spaces can be enjoyed by the community, free from anti-social behaviour. They are not about stopping responsible use, or preventing people from using an area, but they do provide councils with a way of dealing with persistent issues that are damaging the community.
The current Warwick District Public Spaces Protection Orders include:
🐶 dog control and dog fouling
🚫 dog exclusion areas
🍺 intoxicating substances zone
As part of the PSPO consultation, members of the public are encouraged to complete an online survey which is now available on our website.
