Liscard Public Spaces Protection Order

We Asked

We asked for people's feedback on the proposed the introduction of a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) covering Liscard Town Centre/shopping area, to deter Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) from taking place. This was in response to reports of ASB which included groups, individuals covering their faces to hide their identities and reckless use of pedal cycles, E-bikes and scooters on the pavements. This behaviour has been reported as intimidating and a nuisance to residents, businesses and visitors to the area.

You Said

There were 101 responses to the consultation. Here are some of the key findings:

• 86.1% respondents stated they had experienced ASB in the outlined areas in the past

12 months.

• “Reckless cycling” was the commonly selected ASB factor (97.7%).

• 92.0% respondents supported the proposed PSPO.

We Did

The results of the survey were used to inform recommendations compiled by the Wirral Council ASB Team on the implementation of the PSPO. The proposed PSPO for Liscard was approved and implemented on 20 October 2025. The consultation page and report can be found here.
