anti-social behaviours
Sutton Council is consolidating Public Spaces Protection Orders to address anti-social behaviours across the borough.
Sutton Council approved a new borough-wide Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in October 2026 to tackle anti-social behaviours. This consolidated order, designed to simplify enforcement, will replace 17 existing PSPOs across the borough, addressing persistent issues.
The new PSPO includes prohibitions on amplified sound, irresponsible dog ownership, anti-social riding of bikes and scooters, barbecues in parks, and unauthorised parking. It is expected to be implemented by March 2027, with enforcement beginning in April 2027.
