Wednesday, 1 October 2025

Request

I'd like the request the following under the freedom of information act.
1. How many Public Protection Zones have been created by the council/ local authority in each of the last five years.
2. How many Public Protection Zones are there in total in the council area/ local authority?
3. How many fixed penalty notices have been issued for breaching the rules across the authority in each of the last five years.
4. How many people have been prosecuted by the council/ authority in each of the last five years.

Response

1. All our Public Spaces Protection Orders were reviewed as legally required in late 2023 and the two stage public consultation completed, this resulted in new PSPOs being formally issued in Summer 2024. These replaced all previous orders.
Prior to the 2024 full review, there were 7 orders in place.
2. There are 8 PSPOs in force
3. 
2020 = 5
2021 = 7
2022 = 4
2023 = 0
2024 = 0
