Public Space Protection Order Extension – Hewitts Roundabout, Orpington By-Pass

Overview

Sevenoaks District Council is consulting on the extension of a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) at Hewitts Roundabout, Orpington By-Pass, Halstead.

The PSPO was introduced in March 2024 to address car meets and gatherings and associated anti-social behaviour.

A PSPO gives the Police and the Council additional powers to tackle specific types of anti-social behaviour, including issuing warnings and fixed penalty notices. The PSPO is enforced under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.

Any personal information collected through the survey will not be made public or shared with organisations outside Sevenoaks District Council. For more information, view our Privacy Notice.
