Issue details

To present the findings of the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) consultation and approve the extension of the PSPO to 31st July 2020 or discharge the PSPO as of 1st August 2017.

Decision type: Key

Decision status: For Determination

Notice of proposed decision first published: 03/07/2017

Anticipated restriction: Public  -

Decision due: Between 1 Aug 2017 and 21 Aug 2017 by Cabinet Member Signing

The PSPO approved last year expires on 31st July 2017. There was overwhelming support for the Order from the public. If the Order is not extended it will have to be discharged. In the absence of a PSPO it is likely that the activities prohibited by the PSPO will reoccur and increase to the detriment of local residents and businesses. In deciding whether or not to extend the duration of a PSPO the local authority, as required, carried out the 'necessary consultation’ as defined in s72(4) of the Anti-Social Behaviour, crime and Policing Act 2014. Although response rate was poor, the feedback again overwhelmingly supported the continuance of the PSPO without change, to July 2020
