The Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) for Criccieth has been amended to cover an extended area of Criccieth following recent anti-social behaviour in the area.
Gwynedd Council granted the amendments which will remain in place until August 2027. The new area covered is pictured below.
District Inspector Iwan Jones said: “I am grateful of the support from the Community Safety Partnership for assisting in extending the PSPO area and the community of Criccieth who provided feedback at the most recent consultation.
“A lot of work has been done recently between police and partners to create a problem orientated policing plan which has secured youth intervention work alongside our Design Out Crime officer reviewing community safety measures.
“PSPOs are a crucial tool for policing and have previously proven to deter incidents of antisocial behaviour.
“We hope that we will not have to utilise the PSPO powers. However, we will continue to work with the local council to remain vigilant to any anti-social behaviour issues and take action on any breaches of the order.”
A breach of the PSPO is a criminal offence and is dealt with by way of Fixed Penalty Notice or prosecution through the Magistrates’ Court.
