Decision details

Members considered a report which sought approval for the renewal of the pre-existing Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPO) for alcohol control, vehicle control, dog control and footpath gating in order to continue to deter and control issues of ASB in public spaces. It was stated that a number of cases relating to ASB had recently been recognised in Beeston Town Centre which lay just outside of the designated area. Members agreed that the designated spots be amended to include the affected areas.

RESOLVED that:

1.            Beeston Town Centre Alcohol Control PSPO be approved.

2.            Beeston North Alcohol Control PSPO be approved.

3.            Stapleford Town Centre Alcohol Control PSPO be approved.

4.            Eastwood Town Centre Alcohol Control PSPO be approved.

5.            Kimberley Town Centre Alcohol Control PSPO be approved.

6.            Manor Park Alcohol Control PSPO be approved.

7.            Eastwood Vehicle Control PSPO be approved.

8.            Chilwell Vehicle Control PSPO (including extension) be approved.

9.            Basil Russell Playing Fields Dog Control PSPO be approved.

10.         Malthouse Close to Knapp Avenue Footpath Gating PSPO be approved.

11.         An additional budget of £1,500, if required, be set aside from General Fund Revenue Contingencies for this purpose.

12.         Consideration be given to the extension of the area in resolution 1 in relation to cases of ASB that have emerged in recent weeks, and if necessary, a delegation be granted to the Leader of the Council and the Portfolio Holder for Community Safety in consultation with the Head of Communities and Community Safety.

Reason

A PSPO allows action to be taken where that behaviour causes ASB.
