Public invited to feedback on local Public Spaces Protection Orders

Warwick District Council is reviewing its current Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) and considering options for creating new ones. Residents are invited to take part in this process.

Public Spaces Protection Orders were introduced by the council and aimed at ensuring 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 the Warwick District Council website.

Residents have until 9 March 2025 to complete the survey which is on the Warwick District Council website. Alternatively paper copies of the questionnaire can be requested by calling the Community Safety Team on 01926 456010.
