Anti-Social Behaviour in South Westminster

In early 2025, Westminster City Council launched an online consultation to understand people’s experiences of Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in the South Westminster area, identify local hotspots, and gauge support for new enforcement powers through a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO).

The consultation highlighted concerns about the impact of on-street ASB and strong support for introducing a PSPO in response.

The behaviours most commonly reported included:

• Littering, urinating or defecating on the street

• Loitering while under the influence of drugs or alcohol

• Shouting, swearing, abuse, or sexually suggestive gestures

• Visible and open drug use

This consultation seeks to understand the potential impacts of introducing a the draft PSPO to address ASB in South Westminster.

Each of the key elements of the order are listed below, and a full copy of the draft order is available to view at the end of the page
