Nottingham City Council is consulting on a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) that could outlaw face coverings in the city centre, aiming to reduce crime and improve public safety. Residents have expressed concerns about groups of teenagers wearing balaclavas while riding electric bikes aggressively, often causing fear among pedestrians and shopkeepers.
