West Bromwich Town Centre- Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) Renewal

Overview

Renewal of West Bromwich PSPO

The current Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) in West Bromwich Town Centre is due for renewal. A PSPO is a legal measure designed to prevent anti-social behaviour in public spaces, enhancing the quality of life for residents and visitors by addressing specific nuisances and problems.

Under the existing PSPO, it is an offence to:

• Cause harassment, alarm, or distress to anyone.
• Threaten violence or be verbally abusive to anyone.
• Beg, or loiter with intent to beg.
• Block the road or footpath with a vehicle or trailer.

Offenders may face a fixed penalty of up to £100.
