Proposed Variation to Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) - Dogs on Leads in Upton Country Park Phase 2
The Anti–Social Behaviour, Crime & Policing Act 2014 commenced on 20 October 2014. One of the powers available through this legislation is a Public Spaces Projection Order (PSPO) which is designed to stop individuals or groups committing anti-social behaviour in a public space.
A PSPO, once made, is valid for 3 years and, if still required, should be renewed before the expiry date. The current PSPO for the gating of Marble Arch is due to expire on 8 January 2021.
The legislation requires public consultation before making such an Order. The statutory requirement is to consult with the chief officer of police and the local policing body for the area, whatever community representatives the local authority thinks appropriate and any owner or occupier of land within the restricted area.
The purpose of this report is to:-
· Review the consultation results.
· Amend the PSPO 2020 in line with consultation.
