Those who flout the ban face being fined
A legal order banning public drinking, begging, spitting, urinating and public defecation across Rushcliffe is likely to be extended. Rushcliffe Borough Council is to consider extending its public spaces protection order – a legal tool targeting anti-social behaviour.
Having the PSPO gives powers to the police and council community safety officers to move people on if they commit offences covered by the order. Failure to abide by the order can result in fines of £100 being handed out to offenders.However, no fines have been issued since the original PSPO was brought into force in 2017. The council says it has been used as a “useful deterrent to anti-social behaviour”, particularly during the pandemic around Bridgford Park.
Documents confirm the council plans to remove rough sleeping from the order amid changes in the law nationally around vagrancy. But the authority will continue to target public drinking, begging, spitting, urinating or defecating on public property. Two new areas will be added for cover under the PSPO, which are Lyme Park Pond and Broadstone Close Pond in Compton Acres. Geoff Carpenter is the council’s service manager for neighbourhoods.
