To extend the existing Public
Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in Henley-on-Thames for a further
three years (1 May 2021 - 30 April 2024) so that police
officers will continue to have the power to:
- Ask somebody to stop
drinking alcohol or confiscate their alcohol if they are behaving
(or are likely to behave) anti-socially. An offence is committed if
the person fails to comply with the police officer’s
request.
Also to vary the existing order
to give police officers the power to:
- Ask a group of three or more people*
to disperse if their behaviour is causing alarm, distress,
harassment or a nuisance. An offence would only be committed under
the PSPO if the group refused to disperse when asked to do so by a
police officer.
A copy of the extended and
varied order is attached to this paper.
