Background:In light of the coronavirus (Covid-19) crisis, this consultation has been extended until the end of June (from mid-April).
A Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) is legislation that allows a local authority (Isle of Wight Council) to address a particular nuisance or problem that may occur in a particular area. The PSPO works by imposing conditions on the use of that area, that apply to everyone.
PSPOs are designed to ensure the law-abiding majority can use and enjoy public spaces safe from anti-social behaviour.
The Isle of Wight Council's Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs), include the controls that were previously called Dog Control Orders (DCOs), Designated Public Place Orders (DPPOs) and other measures to control antisocial behaviour.
We are turning these previous orders into a single set of PSPOs. The council is considering some small amendments to the previous orders.
Consultation Activity:You can have your say by completing the online survey. Please ensure to read the detail of the proposals.
