 Tackling unauthorised moorings at Cigarette Island

 New PSPO to crack down on unauthorised moorings in Elmbridge
We are now leading the way in addressing the problem of unauthorised moorings on land owned by Elmbridge and we're taking decisive action to protect our riverside sites with a new Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) enforced from the 23 June.
These unauthorised vessels are not just an eyesore but bring anti-social behaviour, environmental damage and serious safety risks for other river users.
Anyone mooring for longer than 24 hours at the sites covered by the PSPO will face Fixed Penalty Notices of £100.
