Nitrous Oxide Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) Consultation

Tower Hamlets and the Police are consulting on proposals to introduce a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) to tackle the issue of antisocial behaviour linked to the use of the psychoactive substance, nitrous oxide (NOX).

A PSPO is an order that:

•     specifies a public place

•     prohibits people from doing certain things or carrying out specified activities in that area

•     stops activity such as persistent and continued antisocial behaviour

We want to hear what you think about our proposal. To have your say, complete our online consultation survey. This will be the best way for the council to fully understand the views of residents and other interested parties, which will be presented to the Mayor and Cabinet.

The consultation will run from Monday 4 January 2020 to Monday 15 February 2021. 

More information and details specific to this PSPO proposal and antisocial behaviour linked to nitrous oxide use can be found in the accompanying information pack.
