Eight Ashfield alleyways described as being “magnets for crime and anti-social behaviour” will be fenced off under plans from a council.
Ashfield District Council plans to create a new public spaces protection order (PSPO) – a legal tool councils use to clamp down on crime and public nuisance in their areas.
It will come alongside a separate PSPO already in place until September 2024 targeting alcohol use, public urination and defecation, dog fouling and other dog-related measures in public spaces.
