Decision details

The purpose of this report is to seek approval to make a Public Spaces Protection Order pursuant to powers contained in Sections 59 to 65 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. The proposed terms of the Order are the installation of gates on the highway, as detailed on the map in Schedule 1 and the imposition of restrictions upon other behaviours within the gated area, as detailed in Schedule 2.

RESOLVED - That: the preferred option is the making of the Public Spaces Protection Order with the terms detailed in Schedules 1 and 2 (Appendix 2).

Option 1 - Install Alleygates
Option 2 - The alternative to installing gates is to ‘target harden’ all properties on either side of the alleyway, however the nature of some of the crimes and incidents and the cost of such action makes this alternative unrealistic and cost prohibitive.

Ward members have requested the PSPO and the funding of gates will be directly from Members’ budgets.
