Minutes:

Members considered an update on the Hemswell Cliff Public Space Protection order, and a request to go to a consultation.

 

The current PSPO was due to expire in June 2021, and officers felt there was strong justification for extending it, as the PSPO had had a real impact.  There would be a further meeting with Hemswell Cliff Parish Council to discuss any issues they may have.

 

A number of officers from WLDC had been involved with this work, and it had been a collective effort.

 

Comment from Councillors included praising the improvement seen at Hemswell Cliff and putting on record thanks to Councillor Paul Howitt-Cowan for his input.

 

Members were informed that some of the anti-social behaviour previously seen at Hemswell Cliff was related to deprivation and property prices.  Hemswell Cliff was a specific example of seeing the result of fast house sales following the relinquishing of ownership by the Ministry of Defence.

 

The report was moved, seconded, and following a vote it was unanimously RESOLVED to approve the proposal to consult upon the extension of the Hemswell Cliff Public Space Protection Order.
