Public Space Protection Orders

Public Space Protection Orders

To ensure that the Derbyshire Dales remains a clean, green and safe place for residents and visitors, under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime & Policing Act 2014, Derbyshire Dales District Council has in place Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs).

A PSPO means that any anti-social behaviour can be dealt with by the issuing of a £100 Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) by a Police Officer, Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) and Derbyshire Dales District Council Enforcement Staff.

The current PSPOs were adopted 1^st November 2018 until 31^st October 2021 and cover dog control, alcohol consumption, fires & BBQs, driving & parking.

The Dog Control Public Space Protection Order 2018 includes:-

• Fouling of land by dogs – this applies to any land within the administrative area of Derbyshire Dales District Council which the public or any section of the public has access, on payment or otherwise, as of right or by virtue of express or implied permission  
• Dogs on lead areas
• Dogs on lead by direction areas
• Dog exclusion areas

The above orders seek to balance the needs of responsible dog owners against the interests of those affected by dogs, particularly children.

There are also PSPOs in place in respect of:-

• Alcohol
• Fires & bar bq’s
• Driving & parking

Signage is installed, advising people that they are in a PSPO area and warning of the possible consequences of anti-social behaviour.

A review of the PSPOs will be required in 2021 when a consultation exercise will take place. Based on the evidence of the three previous years and enforcement of the PSPOs and the consultation results, amendments may be made to the Order.

Below are the Public Space Protection Orders and maps listed in alphabetical parish showing where the Orders are in force.
