Conclusion
Broad prohibitions and requirements can be imposed under Community Protection Notices, which bind individuals, and under Public Spaces Protection Orders, which bind the general public.

If their breach is punished by way of fixed penalty notice, handed out by authorised persons employed by local authorities, there is a further lack of oversight. (Conclusion, Paragraph 85)
