Coventry City Council is asking for people’s views on whether a City Centre Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) should continue for another three years, until November 2029.
A consultation running until 26 July 2026 is asking for residents of all ages to respond to proposed changes to the existing PSPO.
The order could be updated to simplify rules, so that they are easier to enforce and focus more on behaviour that is aggressive, intimidating or causes nuisance, rather than simply someone being present in the city centre.
New rules could also restrict the use of loudspeakers, microphones, megaphones and other amplification equipment as well as restrictions on temporary structures such as gazebos, stalls, canopies and display stands unless they have been authorised by the Council.
Feedback received will help shape the future of the PSPO, ensuring it continues to address the issues that matter most to our communities while supporting a fair and proportionate approach to tackling anti-social behaviour.
Whether you live in Coventry, work in the city centre, own a business or regularly visit, the council want to hear your views.
The consultation only takes a few minutes to complete, and every response will help inform their decision on the future of the Public Spaces Protection Order.
