  • Public Spaces Protection Order

    Alert message sent 23/06/2022 12:18:00

    Information sent on behalf of Lancashire Constabulary


    As a result of feedback from the community Rossendale Council have been granted a ‘Public Spaces Protection Order’ which is now in effect Borough wide. Rossendale Police and Council authorised officers will be able to enforce these conditions.

    There are 5 main conditions attached to the Order which are summarised as follows:-
    1. It will be an offence for any person to refuse to cease drinking alcohol in a public place away from a licensed premises and not surrender any opened vessels of alcohol. Should the person be believed to be under 18 they may also have any alcoholic drinks confiscated whether opened or not.
    2. It will be an offence for any person not to surrender any nitrous oxide canisters or related paraphernalia.
    3. Mechanically Propelled Vehicles (e.g off road motorbikes, electric scooters, quad bikes etc) are prohibited from being used on any publically owned land/highway in the Borough or any other land without permission of the owner.
    4. A person is also prohibited from parking up a vehicle or trailer with the intention to then offload any MPV to be used on public land or land without the permission of the owner.
    5. A person is prohibited from having an MPV in their possession but not being ridden when in a public space unless they can produce appropriate insurance.

    Offenders will be issued a Fixed Penalty Notice of £100 reduced to £60 if paid within 14 days.

    The purpose of this order is to discourage street drinking and those using Nitrous Oxide in public. Off Road bikes and other such vehicles have been highlighted as an issue and this order seeks to target those who use these vehicles in an inappropriate or anti-social way. Lancashire Constabulary encourage people who own such vehicles to use authorised and professionally run venues if they wish to take part in this hobby. Public spaces are not appropriate, and are not safe, for people to ride around on these vehicles.
