BCP Council is asking people for their views on the potential introduction of three Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) in our coastal areas, some of our open spaces, highways and car parks. This follows concerns raised by local communities and visitors during the summer months, when a number of negative behaviours by some individuals impacted on the enjoyment of our beaches and open spaces and had a detrimental effect on the environment.

Voters in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area will need to show an accepted form of photographic identification at this year’s local elections.
