Residents, businesses and visitors are being invited to give their views on a proposed Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) for Montague Road West Car Park, close to Hounslow High Street.
The proposed legislation aims to address anti-social behaviour occurring in the car park, following reports from residents and the police.
If approved, the PSPO would ban a range of activities in the car park such as littering, obstructing entrances, taking ‘legal highs’, rough sleeping and other forms of anti-social behaviour, including public defecation and loitering.
These activities cause nuisance, harm the local environment and negatively impact residents’ quality of life.
Anyone found to be breaking these rules would be liable for a fine of up to £1,000.
If approved, the PSPO would come into force on 1 November 2025 and last for three years.
View and comment on the proposed measures on via a short survey at https://talk.hounslow.gov.uk/pspo-asb-montague-road-west-car-park. The consultation runs from 1 September 2025 to 6 October 2025.
Councillor Pritam Grewal, Cabinet Member for Community Safety, Customer Experience and Enforcement at Hounslow Council, said:
Residents, businesses and local policing teams have told us that this car park is a focus for anti-social behaviour, especially at night.
Our ambition for Hounslow is that everyone can feel safe and take pride in their surroundings, and that’s why we’re proposing this PSPO, which would allow us to take decisive action to tackle the problem head-on, helping everybody feel safer.
We want our decisions to be shaped by the voices, views and experiences of the communities they affect. If you can take ten minutes to share your views on these proposals, you’ll be helping improve our Borough for everyone.
If approved, the PSPO would come into force on 1 November 2025 and last for three years.
