Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPO) give additional powers to enforcement agencies.
It means we can impose conditions on the use of that area by restricting behaviour that:
is likely to have a detrimental effect on the quality of life of those in the locality
is likely to be persistent or continuing in nature
is likely to be unreasonable
justifies the restrictions imposed
Under section 59 of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, we have introduced a PSPO covering the specific areas in and around Sheffield city centre.
It came into effect on Monday 7 April 2025 and will last for 3 years unless it's cancelled or amended.
