Fixed Penalty Notice charging schedule re Public Space Protection Orders (for anti-social behaviour related to alcohol) (WL)

The Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) restricting street drinking in Bath City and Midsomer Norton were renewed in September 2024. These orders, implemented under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, are crucial for maintaining public safety and addressing anti-social behaviour in these areas.

To enforce these PSPOs effectively, it is essential to establish a clear and consistent penalty framework for breaches. This proposal aims to set the penalty levels for Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) issued under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, specifically for PSPO breaches. The goal is to ensure transparency, consistency, and formal documentation of the penalty levels.
