Anti-social driving PSPO

Following a consultation in 2022, Eastbourne Borough Council has introduced a PSPO to tackle anti-social driving in Eastbourne.

The PSPO sets out a list of prohibited activities most commonly identified in reports of anti-social driving. These include the revving of engines, rapid acceleration, racing, excessive noise from vehicles, and off-road activity on public land.

As a result of the consultation the order will come into effect from 1 April to 31 October, each year, beginning in October 2022.

The order prohibits these activities in 'restricted areas' - locations where issues of anti-social driving have been reported most frequently.

From 27 November 2017 public spaces protection orders (PSPO) were put in place along the seafront and in a number of parks and open spaces across Eastbourne. These PSPOs have now been extended to November 2023.

Following a public consultation in 2017 the public walkways in Sovereign Harbour Marina were also added to the scope of the PSPOs.
