A Public Spaces Protection Order is designed to ensure that people can use and enjoy public spaces, safe from anti-social behaviour.

The PSPO has been in operation outside the British Pregnancy Advisory Service Clinic on Rosslyn Road since 2019.

It was renewed in 2022 and is currently set to expire next spring.

The order does not ban protests or vigils but ensures they do not take place in the vicinity of the clinic.

The site on Rosslyn Road provides a range of services, including abortion advice and treatment, counselling, and contraception.

Richmond Council has launched a public consultation on whether or not the order should be extended.
