Public Spaces Protection Orders
Consultation details
North Tyneside has controls in place aimed at tackling problems in public places relating to irresponsible dog ownership and the irresponsible consumption of alcohol. These controls are known as Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs).
The PSPOs currently in place were introduced on 20 October 2017. When a PSPO is made it legally cannot last for more than 3 years unless formally extended. The PSPOs made by the council will therefore expire at midnight on 19 October 2020 if they are not extended.
In June, the Elected Mayor and her Cabinet agreed to commence a 6-week consultation exercise on the proposal to extend the PSPOs for a further 3 years before making a final decision.
