Decision details

To seeks approval to commence a six week engagement in relation to the adoption of a new Borough wide public space protection order replacing and extending the current Borough wide PSPO and the town centre PSPO.

RESOLVED:  That

(1)            the content of the draft Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) set out in Appendix 1 to the officer report be noted and an 8-week consultation on this be agreed; and

(2)            the outcome of the consultation, along with any resulting changes to the draft PSPO, be brought back to Cabinet and considered for adoption.

Reason for Decision:  The PSPOs would allow direct action against low level anti-social behaviour, with the benefit of being able to issue fixed penalty notices for breaches, if appropriate.
