Alcohol PSPO

Today is the last chance to share your thoughts on Public Space Protection Orders for two of our towns, Okehampton and Tavistock in our public consultation.

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.


Cost of living scam

scam

 

Beware of a scam currently doing the rounds about a £900 cost of living payment.

The scammers will text you saying you have not yet received "your annual living allowance" and include a link to a convincing - but fake - webpage that promises a £900 payment if you share your credit or debit card details.

The fake website is an excellent replica of a gov.uk website, but to the well trained eye it is clearly a scam.  The web address - gov-subsidy.top - is among the giveaways. Be careful when you receive unsolicited text messages from numbers you don't know!
