Share your views on proposed Public Safety Protection Order for car cruising

Wakefield Council is considering adopting a district-wide Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) to grant greater powers to tackle anti-social behaviour associated with car cruising activity in the Wakefield district.

PSPOs allow Councils to restrict activities in public spaces that negatively impact the quality of life for the local community. They are designed to address persistent anti-social behaviour and nuisance issues in specific areas by imposing conditions or prohibitions on the use of that space.

'Car cruising' is the term for when drivers meet to race or show off their vehicles. The proposed PSPO will prevent people using or encouraging the use of vehicles in an anti-social manner. It will also prevent people from promoting, organising, publicising or attending an event where these activities take place.  Failure to comply with a PSPO is a criminal offence, subject to a fixed penalty notice of up to £100 or a fine of up to £1,000. 

Please let us know your views on the proposed PSPO by participating in this survey.

The questions should take around 3 minutes to complete and your response is anonymous.
