Have your say on our public space protection orders

The Council has a key role to play in making Royal Greenwich a safe place to live, visit and work, and tackling anti-social behaviour continues to be a high priority. Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) were introduced under the Anti-social Behaviour and Policing Act 2014, to ensure public spaces are areas that are free from anti-social behaviour. &nbsp; PSPOs provide the Council with a wide-range of flexible powers to help tackle anti-social behaviour locally. The Royal Borough of Greenwich, supported by the local police, proposes to replace its existing PSPOs with new orders which aim to tackle a wider range of anti-social issues that are impacting local communities.Some of these new orders include:&middot; Foul or abusive language / threatening or intimidating behaviour&middot; Making comments of a sexual or gender-based nature&middot; Public urination and defecation&middot; Aggressive or persistent begging &nbsp; &nbsp;

To what extent do you support the Council&#39;s proposals to address the following issues through a new Borough wide PSPO?
