Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) review
We consulted on the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) for the restricted area outlined in orange in Braintree Town Centre (opens in new tab). This order has been in place since October 2024 and is reviewed every 12 months to ensure it remains effective and benefits the community.
The consultation period for the Braintree Town Centre PSPO ended at midnight on 16 December 2025. Feedback provided by residents and local businesses of the district included whether they agree or disagree with the amendments, offer any further comments or suggestions, and share experiences of this type of anti-social behaviour in the Braintree District.
Your feedback will be analysed and shared with the cabinet member for stronger communities who has delegated authority as to the implementation of the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO).
