Public Space Protection Order to combat alcohol-related anti-social behaviour
In 2014 the Government passed the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 (the Act) which included a raft of measures to combat anti-social behaviour (ASB). The new powers included Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs). Local authorities can make PSPOs where ASB in a particular public place has, or is likely to have, a detrimental effect on the local community. These orders can help by giving local councils and the police additional powers to tackle ASB in specific locations.
In Sutton, ASB related to street drinking was a significant public concern. In line with our Ambitious for Sutton priorities, Sutton is committed to making the borough a place that is inclusive and everyone feels welcome and proud to be themselves. PSPOs are an effective tool in helping tackle this issue, by enabling authorised persons, including police constables and police community support officers to tackle street drinking at the time and on the spot, and in a visible way, thus improving public confidence.
Persistent or continuous ASB committed in public places can have a detrimental effect on local residents and communities. In order to maintain safety in the borough and continue the low levels of incidents of ASB associated with the consumption of alcohol in public the Council has made a number of Orders since 2002.
Current PSPOs
The Council extended the existing 17 PSPOs under one order which became effective from 20 October 2020 for a period of 3 years and they cover 64 areas set out in the orders. These orders and the 64 areas are listed below with relevant download links.
The consumption of alcohol is not prohibited in these areas. However, in circumstances where an Authorised Person (which includes a constable or a PCSO) suspects that a person is engaging in ASB, the PSPO permits the Authorised Person to require that person; not to drink alcohol in that place, if the officer reasonably believes that a person has consumed or intends to do so, and to surrender the alcohol and any opened or sealed containers in the persons possession. Any person who fails to comply with the Authorised Persons request commits an offence and be liable to prosecution.
The courts can impose upto £500 fine, if the offender fails to stop drinking, refuses to surrender alcohol or anything that is reasonably believed to be alcohol or a container for alcohol, when asked to do so by an authorised person (police or council).
The courts can impose upto £1,000 fine, if the offender refuses to give an authorised person his/her name and address or he/she gives a false or inaccurate name and address. This is a criminal offence.
To report anti-social behaviour, please call the police on 101. In an emergency, call 999.
