PSPO review in Buckinghamshire - have your say!

PSPOs are intended to deal with a specific nuisance or problem in a particular area that is detrimental to the local community’s quality of life.

They can cover various issues such as anti social behaviour, or begging and work by imposing conditions on the use of that area.

The conditions apply to everyone in that area under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, PSPOs.

Buckinghamshire Council is calling on the public to have their say on four PSPOs currently in place in Bucks.

This includes:

• West End Road, High Wycombe - to address criminal activity such as loitering, alcohol consumption, damaging fences, litter, and noise nuisance
• Buckingham Town Centre - to address alcohol consumption and antisocial behaviour
• Winslow and Steeple Claydon - to address alcohol consumption and antisocial behaviour
• Aylesbury Town Centre - addressing alcohol consumption in public, public urination, aggressive behaviour, or dog fouling

The council's cabinet member for communities said: “We are really keen to hear from local people, be they residents, businesses or organisations, about their thoughts on these PSPOs.

"For our health and wellbeing, it is important that everyone who lives or works in an area feels safe when out and about. Sometimes the behaviour of a small minority of people can affect those feelings.

"PSPOs are one way of addressing issues of anti-social behaviour so we’d like to know what people think of those we currently have in place.

"I would urge anyone with a link to these areas to find out more and take a few minutes to complete the survey.”

Responses to the survey are to be submitted by midnight on Monday, July 11. For details of each survey follow the links above.
