Ealing Road emergency works
Ealing Road is closed to traffic in both directions while Thames Water completes emergency sewer repairs. There is likely to be heavy traffic so please avoid driving around the area if you can and take public transport instead.
Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) are powers introduced by local authorities (under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014) to help deal with a particular nuisance or problem in a particular area that is damaging to the local community’s quality of life.
They set out specific conditions on how an area can be used. These conditions apply to everyone and are designed to ensure that you can use and enjoy public spaces safe from anti-social behaviour.
There are three different Public Spaces Protection Orders in place across Brent. These have been implemented following a consultation with residents and will be in place until 31 January 2026.
Following a further public consultation, a new Boroughwide Public Spaces Protection Order was introduced on 20 April 2023 prohibiting nuisance vehicles. This will be in place until 19 April 2025.
A notice will be displayed in all affected areas displaying the prohibitions and announcing the end of the authority when it no longer applies.
You can report a breach of any of the listed PSPO's to the Council online, at anytime.
You can help us by providing as much information as possible, including:
Any consent that is given by the landowner must be in writing, Additionally, proof of any relevant licences/permissions may be required.
Please note that failure to provide a name and address, or furnishing a false name or address, may result in a further offence being committed for which you may receive an unlimited fine.
Breach of PSPO’s will be dealt with by way of a Fixed Penalty Notice.
Failure to comply with the consumption of alcohol prohibition is a criminal offence, subject to a fine not exceeding level two (up to £500) upon prosecution. Breaches will result in the issuing of a Fixed Penalty Notice (£100), payable within 14 days.
Failure to comply with any other prohibition is a criminal offence, subject to a fine not exceeding level three (up to £1000) upon prosecution. A breach of the PSPO could result in the issuing of a Fixed Penalty Notice (£100), payable within 14 days.
Payment of the Fixed Penalty Notice discharges liability to conviction for the offence.
