Contact
Members of the public can report breaches of the PSPO to the Council:
- telephone: 020 7361 3001
- email: [email protected]
We will need the following information:
- where did the breach occur?
- what time did the breach occur?
- which of the criteria from the PSPO were breached?
- what was the make, model and colour of the vehicle, if motorised?
- what is the vehicle registration number, if motorised?
Please note - this telephone number is not a dedicated number solely for PSPO breaches. All calls go through to the Council's contact centre. When all the call agents are busy handling calls, customers will hear an option for a 'call back within an hour', or they can continue in a queuing system until a call agent becomes available.
