People living or visiting areas of Pontefract and Castleford are being asked for their views on tackling anti-social behaviour in the towns.

Wakefield Council is asking people to take part in online surveys about areas covered by Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) as part of its plan to renew and extend two of them for the next three years.

In areas covered by PSPOs the police and the council have additional ways to deal with anti-social behaviour, which includes dealing with intimidating behaviour due to street drinking or drug taking.
