Does street drinking in the town get on your wick?
If so, Bedford Borough Council wants to hear from you as it’s looking to extend the current Public Space Protection Order (PSPO).
The council originally introduced them in December 2020 in response to residents’ concerns and they’re aimed at tackling street drinking and related anti-social behaviour.

The current PSPO is set to expire in December this year, so the council is asking if you think it should be extended for a further three years.
The consultation period runs from today (Tuesday) until Thursday, October 12.
Paper copies of the survey are also available from Bedford Central Library.
The feedback received will be presented to the council's executive committee on Wednesday, November 22.
