The Crime & Policing Act 2026 empowers local authorities and councils to impose tougher penalties for offences related to Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) and Community Protection Notices (CPNs). Previously, the maximum Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) for these breaches was capped at £100. However, under the new legislation, this ceiling rises significantly to £500, granting councils greater authority to address public nuisance issues such as dog fouling and uncontrolled dogs.
