Parkhouse Court Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) Consultation
We are consulting on a proposal to introduce a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) at Parkhouse Court in Hatfield.
PSPOs address issues that negatively impact a community's quality of life and it can stop individuals or groups from engaging in anti-social behaviours in a public place.
The aim of this consultation is to understand in more detail any concerns you may have and hear your views on whether or not a PSPO is the right solution to tackle local issues.
Have your say
Have your say by completing our short online survey before 11.59pm on Sunday 26 July using the link below.

Paper copies of the survey will also be available from our reception or by emailing us at feelsafe@welhat.gov.uk.
Why we are consulting on introducing a PSPO at Parkhouse Court
The area around Parkhouse Court is experiencing anti-social behaviour (ASB) associated with:
- ASB in public places caused by consumption of alcohol
- begging
- drug taking and paraphernalia
- urination and defecation in public
These anti-social behaviours have been persistent and continuing for some time.
Next steps
Once the consultation has closed will review the results.
We will aim to take a recommendation on whether to introduce the PSPO, based on the feedback collected, to Cabinet on the 11 August 2026.
