Introduction:
In October 2017, a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) was introduced in parts of Wisbech to help address anti-social behaviour linked to street drinking and alcohol consumption. As required by law, the Order has since been reviewed and extended for further three-year periods in 2020 and 2023.
The PSPO restricts alcohol in two ways:
In three specific locations (Gardens of St Peter and Paul Church, Tillery Field, and the Memorial Garden in The Crescent), where possessing an open container of alcohol is not allowed (shown in solid red on the map).
Across a wider area of Wisbech, where people must stop drinking alcohol and surrender it when required to do so by an authorised person (shown in the shaded red area on the map).
Read more about the order and view detailed maps on the Wisbech PSPO page.
We are now carrying out the next scheduled review and want to understand the community’s views on the PSPO to help the Council decide whether the order should be extended.
The map below highlights the areas in Wisbech where the Order is in place. Some of the questions relate directly to this map, so please refer to it when completing the survey.
