2.1  

a.    Cabinet approved a 12 week statutory public consultation on the proposal to make a Public Spaces Protection Order (see Appendix 1 of the report) that will gate the public highway known as Jeyes Jetty, between The Drapery and College Street, Northampton; and

b.    Cabinet agreed to receive a further report, following completion of the statutory public consultation, which considers any representations received and, if appropriate, seeks approval of the Public Spaces Protection Order.

Councillor King as the relevant Cabinet Member submitted a report and pointed out that Jeyes Jetty had been a problem area for anti-social behaviour for a number of years. 

Councillor Larratt noted that the issue had been raised by Overview and Scrutiny in 2015 and it was encouraging to see progress being made.  There were successful precedents of gating in other towns, such as Market Harborough.
