The report will seek Cabinet Member approval for a further consultation to be undertaken in respect of extending the existing Public Spaces Protection Order in the Seven Sisters area, beyond 31st July 2017 for a further 3 years.

Minutes:

The report sought approval for a public consultation to be undertaken around the extension of the existing Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in the Seven Sisters area.

 

RESOLVED

 

To approve the terms of the draft PSPO at Appendix 1 of the report and to agree to an eight week period of public consultation on extending the PSPO for a further 3 years.

 

Reasons for decision

 

 

Under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 a PSPO can be in effect for a period of not more than three years.  The Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 states that before the time when a PSPO is due to expire , the local authority that made the order may extend the period for which it has effect if satisfied on reasonable grounds that doing so is necessary to prevent:—

 

(a)          occurrence or recurrence after that time of the activities identified in the order, or

(b)          an increase in the frequency or seriousness of those activities after that time.

In deciding whether to extend a PSPO the local authority is required to carry out the ‘necessary consultation’ as defined in s72(4) of the Act.

 

 

Alternative options considered

 

Not to extend the PSPO.   Given the substantial response to the previous PSPO

consultation and the overwhelming support for the PSPO to be in place, a discharge of the order without consultation to gauge public view would not be considered appropriate and would undermine the good work that has taken place to date.
