1. That the extension of the Public Space Protection Order for the Harbour ward for a further three years be agreed on the basis that the Public Space Protection Order has been used extensively in this ward, along with other legislative tools to support the Police to tackle alcohol related anti social behaviour in this location.

 

2. That the Public Space Protection Orders for the Kirkley and Oulton Broad wards should not be extended on the basis that there is no evidence that the Public Space Protection Order for these areas has been used or that it has supported the Police in tackling alcohol related anti social behaviour in these locations.

Legislation sets out several additional requirements for consultation before an Order is introduced, once it is implemented and where it is extended, varied, or discharged. We consider that the consultation requirements have been met and there is limited evidence about the need to retain the PSPO’s in two of the three areas under consideration, based on the level of ASB recorded, the lack of additional evidence from the Police and the lack of responses to the consultation undertaken.

For the three PSPOs to be discharged and other ASB legislation to be utilised.

None.

None.
