Prohibited behaviours
The list below outlines the prohibited behaviours that are addressed as part of the PSPO.
a. An authorised person where they reasonably suspect, may request that a group of three or more within the restricted area acting in such a manner as to cause harassment, alarm or distress to any person immediately disperse and not return to the restricted area within 48 hours.
b. An authorised person may request a person to dismount if they are cycling, skateboarding, hover-boarding or using similar devices within the restricted area where they reasonably suspect that the person is riding in a malicious and/or dangerous manner as to cause harassment, alarm or distress to any person within that area.
c. A person is prohibited from wearing face coverings in an attempt to conceal their identity to cause harassment, alarm or distress to any person; this includes scarves, balaclavas and masks. This would not include face covering worn in respect of religious or cultural beliefs.
The PSPO means that a person will commit an offence if they fail to comply with a request by an authorised officer to cease any of the controlled behaviours within the specified area. Breach of the PSPO could result in either a Fixed Penalty Notice being issued, or prosecution.
