Episode Details

Leicester City Council aims to expand Public Spaces Protection Order, initially implemented in the city center, to outer neighborhoods by September. The order targets aggressive begging, street drinking, and reckless e-bike riding, with fines up to £100. The council plans to hire six new wardens, bringing the total to eleven, to enforce the order. The original rules also restrict amplified speakers and unapproved structures on public paths. Despite concerns about free speech, the council asserts the order is designed to curb nuisances, not protests or worship. The low number of fines issued since April 2025 indicates positive change in the city center. The council also considers additional measures, such as addressing rowdy fireworks and e-bike safety.
