Police have reported ‘serial perpetrators’ and seized alcohol while patrolling the town centre.
South Holland offices have been patrolling in Spalding today (Thursday, January 2) to enforce the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO).
The order, which covers the town centre, is not a drinking ban, it does set out that an offence is committed if a drinker does not comply with an officer’s request to stop. Enforcement action for this order is taken by South Holland District Council.
