Reigate and Banstead Borough Council has reported a reduction in anti-social behaviour in Redhill town centre.
This follows the implementation four months ago of the Council’s first Public Space Protection Order. The Order gives the Council and police additional powers to tackle anti social behaviour in Redhill by prohibiting certain activities. Distinctive blue and white signs list the behaviours which include acting in an anti social manner, harassing, or being verbally abusive.
The Council introduced the PSPO in October to an area covering the pedestrianised shopping centre, Memorial Park, Marketfield Way and some surrounding streets.
