We would like your thoughts on Public Space Protection Orders for two of our towns, Okehampton and Tavistock.
What is a Public Space Protection Order? (PSPO)
A PSPO deals with potential anti-social behaviour in an area which could have a harmful effect on the quality of life for those in the local community. It can ban or restrict certain things, or need specific things to be done - in this case the control of alcohol in public areas.
There are some areas of West Devon where the public drinking of alcohol is restricted. PSPOs last for three years before they need to be reviewed and the current orders run out in November. We now need to consult on the next set for the following three year period.
Please visit the consultation to have your say, which runs until Friday 23 August.

Visiting a farm over the holidays?
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), is reminding visitors of these simple hygiene steps to help reduce the risk of catching infection from animals or the environment.
- Follow any rules and guidelines provided by the farm staff and maintain safe distances from animals to ensure your safety and the wellbeing of the animals.
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm running water after you have touched animals, fences or other surfaces where animals may have been, and dry your hands with paper towels.
- Supervise children closely and ensure that they wash their hands thoroughly using liquid soap and warm running water.
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before eating or drinking.
- When visiting a farm, only eat and drink in picnic areas or cafes.
- Try to avoid wearing open-toed shoes. At the end of your visit remove and clean boots or shoes and clean pushchair wheels. Then wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm running water.
- If you have held or had contact with an animal wash clothing at 40C or hotter when you return home.
