The Albion Street Bridge is a few tens of metres downstream from the site of the historic chain bridge. The Welland here is calm, flow stilled by the great sluice at Fulney Lock.

PSPO map

Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) were introduced in 2014, to help local authorises tackle anti-social behaviour locally. They incorporated earlier replace Designated Public Place Orders (DPPOs), Gating Orders and Dog Control Orders into a single framework - in effect allowing local authorities to create what some called "automatic asbo zones" with sweeping powers. What was intended when the legislation was introduced was that these would be put in place around night clubs or problematic pubs. What local authorities actually did was to envelope their entire districts in them. This map seems to date from after 2017, when councils were reminded that zones had to delineate "public" spaces, that is areas utilised for social or commercial activities, not purely residential. It seems more proportionate than the first designation. Interestingly there is no mention of dog control - but the council has separate by-laws covering fouling. They refer all complaints of aggressive dogs to the Police. The council describe the order here: Link
