Issue - meetings

On the 11^th March 2021, the Committee approved that it would consult upon the extension of the Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) at Hemswell Cliff.

The consultation had taken place between the 18^th of March and 29^th April 2021.

The Committee therefore considered a report which set out the results of that consultation  Section 4 set out how the consultation had been undertaken, Section 5 the results, and Section 6, a proposal, namely, as a result of the consultation, it was proposed that Members approve the extension of the order for a further three year period.

Members needed to be satisfied that the conditions within the Act were met as referred to in 3.3 of the report, with Officers being of the belief that that the consultation, along with the information provided within the report to Regulatory Committee on 11^th March 2021 demonstrated that the conditions were met.

No material changes had been made to the wording of the Order, on which consultation had been undertaken.

Debate ensued and both the Local Ward Member and the Chairman of the Committee welcomed the extension of the Order.  The community had come a considerable way over the past 3 years and the Order had been one such tool that had proved of assistance.  It was acknowledged that there was still a way to go but the continuation of the Order demonstrated a continued commitment to support and improve the area.

All Members of the Committee welcomed the proposal and having been proposed and seconded, on being put to the vote, it was unanimously

RESOLVED that the Hemswell Cliff Public Space Protection Order proposals be approved and as such the Order be extended for a three year period from 14^th June 2021 to 13^th June 2024.
