Anti-social behaviour orders extended by Surrey Heath council

Anti-social behaviour orders extended by Surrey Heath council covers the Surrey Heath Borough Council’s decision to extend Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) for three more years to address low-level anti-social behavior in the borough. The PSPOs were first introduced in Surrey Heath in 2017, and the council executive approved the extension through 2029. The updated orders will retain alcohol control zones in Camberley town centre and the Old Dean shopping parade, and continue the ban on dogs from all council play areas. New measures include restrictions on putting up tents in Camberley town centre, London Road Recreation Ground and Camberley Park without permission, while street begging in Camberley town centre remains banned. The council will review whether to raise fines for breaches from £100 to £500 starting in October, when the new PSPOs take effect. It removed a borough-wide nitrous oxide ban because the substance is now classified as a Class C drug under national law.
