Episode Details

Manchester city center has seen hundreds of enforcement actions over the past three years under a Public Spaces Protection Order, tackling anti-social behavior like public urination, alcohol disturbances, and illegal dumping — all aimed at keeping the area safe, clean, and welcoming. Police use these powers nearly daily, working hand-in-hand with council teams to respond to community concerns. While the order has been effective in addressing immediate issues, critics question whether it solves deeper problems — like addiction — that linger beneath the surface. With the order set to expire this summer, officials are debating renewal, weighing its value against more sustainable, long-term solutions.
