Decision details

(Report of Director of Central Services)

The report provided details of the proposed Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) for the Borough, including details of Borough-wide restrictions and restrictions for particular geographical areas.  Annex 2 of the report set out the proposed PSPO, including two new proposed restrictions related to no unauthorised drones (unmanned aerial surveillance platforms) on Borough Council land and keeping dogs on a lead in closed churchyards.

In order to extend or add additional requirements to a PSPO there was a requirement to consult with the public and other bodies.  The responses to the consultation would be reported to the next meeting of the Communities and Housing Advisory Board.

Following consideration by the Communities and Housing Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Community Safety resolved that:

The proposed Public Spaces Protection Order, as set out in Annex 2 of the report and summarised above, be circulated for public consultation.
