Borough Council Public Spaces Protection Order Alcohol Consumption / Substance Misuse

Atherstone Town Centre

29/01/2024

The Borough Council Community Development team would like your opinions on preventing anti-social behaviour arising from alcohol consumption and/or substance misuse within Atherstone Town Centre, North Warwickshire.

The council is proposing to introduce a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) to prevent anti-social in Atherstone Town Centre, including Market Square and Long Street.

Before introducing a PSPO, the Council must be satisfied that the activity that the order seeks to prohibit, is having or is likely to have a detrimental effect on the quality of life of those in the local area and is, or is likely to be, persistent or unreasonable in nature.

One method of finding out whether a PSPO is necessary is through public consultation and your input on this is much appreciated.

The consultation will run until Wednesday 6 March 2024.
