County Durham, Peterborough Extend Anti-Social Behaviour Orders
Durham County Council has extended four Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) until July 2028 following strong public support. These orders address irresponsible dog ownership, ban public alcohol consumption in Durham city centre, and regulate begging, urinating, and intoxicating substance use, as well as combat anti-social behavior in the High Force area of Teesdale. Councillor Tim McGuinness emphasized that these measures have significantly improved community quality of life and remain essential for maintaining safety and order. Similarly, Peterborough City Council is seeking to extend a PSPO at the Kings Walk alleyway, a hotspot for anti-social behavior including street drinking and drug use, which has seen a notable decline in incidents since the order's implementation in 2022. The council's consultation highlighted zero recent police calls related to the alleyway, though some nearby households still report disturbances. Both councils are consulting with local authorities and the public to continue these protective measures against anti-social behavior.
