Dear all, After my last update, many of you have been in touch to let me know about more councils which have or are trying to introduce PSPOs which include banning rough sleeping, street drinking, etc. Thank you all for the information, I do read through the comments and will get around to responding/following up as soon as possible. Please bear with me though, it will take a bit of time as it's sometimes difficult to keep on top of it all especially during the work hours. Christian Garland has set up a petition calling on Chester Council to drop their proposed PSPO which also includes rough sleeping. You can read about the PSPO here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-33557876 - and please sign the petition here: https://www.change.org/p/cheshire-west-and-chester-council-drop-the-proposed-introduction-of-public-space-protection-orders-pspos-banning-sleeping-on-the-streets-as-well-as-feeding-the-birds-and-unauthorized-busking?recruiter=13042434&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=share_facebook_responsive&utm_term=des-lg-notification-no_msg&fb_ref=Default Many thanks, and I will be in touch again as soon as possible with any more actions. It is getting increasingly difficult to notice every single one, so please do contact me via Twitter (@ZahiraPatel) if you are able to start a petition in your council and I will then try to forward it on to people who can circulate/promote it. In the coming months I may look into setting up a Facebook page or group dedicated to tracking and challenging PSPOs if more continue to be proposed. As ever, thank you so much for all your help and let's keep working together to challenge these measures wherever we may find them. Best, Zahira
