Help us keep Fareham welcoming and safe for all
The Town Centre Public Spaces Protection Order ( PSPO) was introduced after listening to residents, visitors and local businesses, to prevent drug taking, drinking of alcohol and aggressive begging in the Town Centre and surrounding area.
Now, as the current order approaches its end, the Council is proposing to renew it for a further 3 years.
The PSPO applies to Fareham Town Centre and surrounding areas, targeting specific behaviours such as:
- Drug taking
- Drinking alcohol in public spaces
- Aggressive begging
These measures are not about penalising people, they're about creating a safer, more inclusive town centre for all.

Let's Talk Local Government Reorganisation
Local government reorganisation means changing how councils are structured by replacing the two-tier system and instead having new, unitary local authorities, which will cover populations of at least 500,000 that would be responsible for all services in their areas.
Fareham Borough Council has been working collaboratively with 12 other councils to shape proposals, to put forward a final case to Government.
The final business case to government entitled Close enough to be local, big enough to stay strong 
(11 MB) has been published and was submitted to government on Friday 26 September 2025.
It proposes three different options, each option includes Fareham combining with Gosport, Havant and Portsmouth into a new Unitary Authority.
View the three options that have been proposed.
The Government will consult publicly on the LGR options submitted to them before making its final decision which is expected in the spring of 2026.

The Council has put together some information packs for our Residents, Community Groups and Businesses to help them on their carbon reduction journeys.
We have tried to include information for everyone. So, it doesn't matter if you're just starting out or already a climate change champion, we hope there are some useful tips for everyone.
