Police enforcement of the Public Spaces Protection Order for anti-social behaviour in Portswood Broadway and reporting of other incidents to the police

HRA’s Chair, Professor Roger Brown, has received a response to his letter from A/Inspector Richards, Southampton North Neighbourhood Policing Team, regarding the enforcement of the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in Portswood Broadway, and indeed other incidents. She says:

“I would also encourage residents and businesses to continue reporting incidents and concerns. Non‑emergency matters should be reported via 101, which is essential in helping us understand demand and direct resources effectively. In an emergency, or where there is an immediate risk to life or safety, 999 should be used. Ongoing reporting is vital in supporting enforcement and longer‑term problem‑solving.”
