Spelthorne Council has secured its first prosecutions against four people for failing to comply with its Public Space Protection Order.

Each case involved private hire drivers who were found parked within an exclusion area in Stanwell Moor and parts of Stanwell.

The PSPO was introduced in May 2024 to address ongoing concerns around the misuse of public spaces.

All four defendants were issued with a criminal record and ordered to pay a fine and costs totalling £1000 each.
