Is Decision District Wide

Decision Made

That the extension of the Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) for the Harbour Ward for a further three years be agreed.

Reason for Decision

Data to support the continuation of the PSPO in respect of prohibiting alcohol use, and other problems to consider, includes:

CADs (Computer Aided Dispatch) with a youth or alcohol tag over the last twelve months were analysed by the Police. There were 182 of these, 64% were alcohol related and 36% youth related.

Violence against the person is the highest crime type in this area, of which more than quarter (27%) occur in streets/open public spaces or licenced premises. One third of all public order and drug offence crimes also occur in these public locations.

However following consideration of the evidence, the Human Rights Act 1998, and following consultation with the Police and other interested bodies it is not considered necessary to add additional conditions to the PSPO.

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected

1. PSPO to be extended.

2. Other ASB (Anti Social Behaviour) Legislation to be utilised, such as a Community Protection Notice or Dispersal Powers.

Any Declarations of Interest Declared

None.

Any Dispensation Granted

None.
