Public Spaces Protection Order

A Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) for Spalding is currently in place in order to improve the quality of life for those living, working and visiting the area.  The Order is in place until 23rd December 2026 and can be viewed together with the signage that has been erected in the designated area under 'Related Documents' on this page.

The PSPO covers:

• from St Thomas's Road north to West Elloe Avenue, and
• from the railway station east to Commercial Road.

The following activities are offences within the PSPO:

• failure to comply with an officer's request to stop drinking alcohol in a public space
• spitting saliva or any other product of the mouth on to the ground
• dropping litter
• urinating or defecating.

The law does not allow for a complete ban on drinking alcohol in a public place. The offence is failing to comply with an officer's request to stop drinking within a PSPO area.
