Decisions

The Committee discussed the enforcement of the PSPO, with particular reference to measuring how successful an order had been.  It was noted that a lack of enforcement could show that the order had discouraged anti-social behaviour and was of benefit to the local community by preventing the offending conduct.  There was concern that problems might be moved to other areas and it was noted that should this happen powers of dispersal or further PSPOs could be used. 

RESOLVED that in accordance with the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, the making of the Eastwood Vehicle Nuisance PSPO, as detailed in appendix 1, be approved.

The Committee requested a report on the use and vandalisation of open water safety equipment. 

RESOLVED that the Work Programme, as amended, be approved.

The Committee discussed the synchronisation of work surrounding the Chilwell Retail Park, Basil Russell Playing Fields and Knapp Ave / Malthouse Close PSPOs.  The aim of this was to reduce the amount of administration involved.

There was a discussion about including the Park and Ride facility at the Tram Terminus on Toton Lane.  It was noted that to change any part of a PSPO would involve a consultation, but that this could be considered if any complaints of offending behaviour were made.

RESOLVED that, in accordance with the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, the Chilwell Retail Park, Basil Russell Playing Fields, and Knapp Ave / Malthouse Close PSPOs be renewed, as detailed in the appendices to this report with an end date of 1May 2023, be approved.
