Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) 2025 - Old Leigh and Chalkwell

Background

The Old Leigh and Chalkwell PSPO was implemented due to a steep rise in Anti-Social Behaviour in the area having a detrimental effect on those living in the area as well as those visiting the area for pleasure. The PSPO has acted as a preventative measure discouraging anti-social behaviour and forms part of the Operation Union toolkit designed to address anti-social behaviour and crime in high profile foreshore areas across the City of Southend.

Proposal

Southend-on-Sea City Council is looking to renew all current PSPO's to ensure the extension of the orders for a further three years, and to place all the orders on the same timeline for renewals.

For a full copy of the Order see the document section to the right of the webpage.
