About the consultation
We asked for views on antisocial behaviour in Woking town centre.
The feedback helped us decide whether a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) could improve safety and protect the community.
What PSPOs do
A PSPO would let us restrict or ban specific behaviour in public places.
It is used when behaviour is causing ongoing nuisance, harm or a negative impact on people’s quality of life.
Why we ran the consultation
Surrey Police and local partners reported continued antisocial behaviour in the town centre. This included:
- alcohol‑related intimidation
- threatening or disruptive group behaviour
- using face coverings to cause fear or hide identity
Because of this, Surrey Police asked us to consider adopting a new PSPO to make the town centre a safe and welcoming place for everyone.
