ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR

February 19th, 2025 by James Goudie KC

TROWER v ELMBRIDGE BOROUGH COUNCIL ( 2025 ) EWHC 314 ( Admin ) concerns a challenge to a PUBLIC SPACES PROTECTION ORDER under the ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR etc ACT 2014 restricting the unauthorised mooring of riverboats in certain areas.  It had been reasonable for the authority to conclude that littering and noise from boat users was anti-social behaviour and to associate the behaviour with unauthorised mooring. It was a legitimate factor that boats in neighbouring areas might be displaced into the authority’s area.
