Protestors who gathered outside an abortion clinic branding patients as “murderers” could be prevented from staging demonstrations under new council powers.
Liverpool Council is recommended to adopt a new public space protection order (PSPO) around the British Pregnancy Advice Service (BPAS) Merseyside clinic in Aigburth following a consultation on anti-social behaviour outside the centre.
Since early 2020, the local authority, in conjunction with colleagues from Merseyside Police have been investigating concerns raised about behaviours associated with individuals and represented groups involved in protests and vigils outside the clinic in South Liverpool.
