Public Space Protection Orders
Thanks to all who responded to the consultation exercise which ended 22nd November 2021.
The results have now been analysed and will be considered along with recommendations by the Community & Environment Committee 6th April 2022.
To ensure that the Derbyshire Dales remains a clean, green and safe place for residents and visitors, under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime & Policing Act 2014, Derbyshire Dales District Council has in place Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs).
Derbyshire Dales District Council is consulting for views on the renewal of Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs)
A PSPO means that anti-social behaviour can be dealt with by the issuing of a £100 Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) by a Police Officer, Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) and Derbyshire Dales District Council Enforcement Staff.
The previous PSPOs were adopted 1st November 2018 until 31st October 2021 and cover dog control, alcohol consumption, fires & BBQs, driving & parking.
We are required to review the existing measures and seek the views of others, which we will take into account alongside data & evidence gathered, as any new Orders must be supported by evidence.
A report to the Community & Environment Committee, 22nd September, set out evidence to support, or otherwise, the PSPO, progress so far, options for consultation for the new PSPOs and sought approval to commence the formal consultation, the content of which is summarised below:-
