Extension of the Public Space Protection Order (PSPO)-Fishponds
Decision Maker: Executive Director: Children & Education (DCS)
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
The current Public Space Protection Order
(PSPO) runs from 20th October 2017 until 20th October 2020. Under
the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 Revised:
August 2019 PSPOs can remain in place for up to 3 years. They can
be reviewed and extended, or allowed to lapse. They can also have
the area extended and further conditions applied.
The Fishponds PSPO restriction states, ‘No person in the
Restricted Area shall be in possession of any opened or unsealed
bottle or container of alcohol’.
Consultation with the police, and the general public indicate that
the presence of a PSPO assisted:
•in the general management of the area; and
•in reducing the fear of crime.
Decision:
To extend the Fishponds PSPO for a further 3
years in its present form. The extended PSPO duration will run
until 20th October 2023.
Alternative options considered:
To allow the PSPO to lapse and to be no longer
in effect.
