That it be agreed that the Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) for the Henham Estate Latitude Festival 2022 should not be extended on the basis that there is limited evidence that the PSPO for this area has been needed used or that it has supported the Police in tackling Nitrous Oxide related use in this location. 

Through consultation with the Police and the East Suffolk Council ASB Transformation Officer, it was agreed to take a report to the Safety Advisory Group (SAG) to discuss the evidence current need for PSPO. 

 

Consultation took place on 10 March 2022 and partners present included: Police, Environment Protection, ESC Health & Safety, ESC Licencing, Fire Service, Ambulance Service Festival Republic, ESC Emergency Response and Legal representative. All those present agreed to discharge PSPO due to lack of evidence provided by the police regarding seizures of Nitrous Oxide cannisters and Fixed Penalty Notices served.
