The PSPO has been continued in order to protect the public within the town centre area
A Public Spaces Protection Order extended in the town centre will see perpetrators fined if they are caught begging; driving in an antisocial manner; obstructing the roads or loitering; collecting money for charities or companies without permission; and skateboarding or using a scooter in the town centre. Street drinkers could also be hit with a fine, but as part of a borough-wide PSPO.
This order was originally approved and implemented in Rochdale town centre back in 2017 and extended in 2021 to address a number of behaviours which the council felt needed controlling, the meeting was told. Between July 2021 and March 2024, Greater Manchester Police and Rochdale Council data recorded just under 100 breaches of the order, a report found. A large majority of those incidents related to begging.
A report, justifying the reasoning behind the order extension read: “The order currently provides reassurance to the public that action is able to be taken to tackle these issues should they arise at any point.
