Police remind public in Pwllheli about its protection order to curb anti-social behavior lasting until 2027.
Basically, there are rules in certain public areas. Signs explain what’s not allowed under the PSPO. You can’t drink alcohol if an officer tells you to stop, and you also can’t have open alcohol containers.
Don’t act in a way that causes alarm. Loitering while drunk or high is prohibited. You can’t perform for money near ATMs either. Breaking the PSPO is a crime.
You might have to go to court if you break the rules. This order lasts until August 2027, so remember that when you’re in Pwllheli.
If you see someone breaking these rules, tell the police. You can report it online or call 101. The Gwynedd Council website has more details.
The council made these rules last August. They put PSPOs in Caernarfon and Cricieth too. These rules address increasing anti-social behavior.
Police now have extra powers to tackle specific nuisances. These powers aim to improve life for everyone. The PSPOs target several types of behavior.
It applies to behavior causing distress or harassment, and it also includes public intoxication and ignoring police requests to stop drinking. Keep an eye out for the signs.
