Public Space Protection Order - Review of details

Additional Information

The Public Space Protection Order 2014 (PSPO) is a form of ASBO, but aimed at groups in a public space. Homeless people huddled for warmth, ramblers following legitimate footpaths, people waiting for stores to open on sale days - the list is endless.
This order is far to broad. It gives power to private security and police to issue on the spot fines for not leaving a particular area within 20
Minutes of leaving the shop or restaurant as an example.
We the people want this act retracted, and request a broad based public consultation, and not a decision behind closed doors. We want a full and transparent appeal procedure, and mandatory consultation for each council looking to enforce this act.
