Dorset Council has confirmed they are planning on extending existing Anti Social Behaviour (ASB) Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) by another 3 years.
Information on PSPOs and what they mean, along with a list of the existing orders can be found on Dorset Council's website USING THIS LINK. John Newcombe, part of Dorset Council's Licensing and Community Safety team would like to know if parish and town councils are supportive of the proposed extensions or if you have any concerns or issues with them.

In addition to extending the existing PSPOs, Dorset Council is proposing to introduce two new orders, Dorset Open Land (Number 2), to tackle the starting of fires in grass, heathland and forest areas, and The Dorset Beaches (Studland), to address the rising instances of wild camping on beaches in Studland. Surveys are open for both orders on Dorset Council's consultation portal which close 20 April 2025. To access the surveys use the links below.
