Consultation over Eastwood protection order

The current order, which came into force in 2022, expires this summer. It covers anti-social behaviour like street drinking, noise pollution and abusive language as well as bins being left out on streets.

The area covered by the PSPO includes Fitzwilliam Road and stretches to the River Don behind Eldon Road, Doncaster Road, and up to the Mushroom Roundabout.

The new consultation, running until 20 May, will help the council decide whether to extend, change, or scrap the current order. Residents, businesses, and community groups are being urged to have their say on what restrictions, if any, are needed.

The Council is interested in whether the existing powers remain effective, and if additional measures are needed to reflect the community’s current concerns.

The results will be brought to cabinet in July, with any new or revised order due to come into effect before the current one expires in June 2025.
