Decision details

Purpose of Report: This report has been produced to agree to consult with the public to introduce a PSPO for Union Terrace Car Park and Clarence Gardens to reduce the incidence of anti-social behaviour for both residents and visitors to the city.

The Executive Member will be asked to agree to carry out public consultation.

Resolved:

                      i.         Approved the decision to consult with the public and partners on the extension of the PSPO which would ensure that the Council would have greater powers to deal with anti-social behaviour in these areas, including the following possible options the council could consider:

·      A ban on drinking alcohol in public within the area;

·      The ability to remove large groups of 3 or more people who are causing anti-social behaviour for the sites.

Reason:     To consult on providing the Council with greater powers to deal with anti-social behaviour within the Union Terrace, Clarence Street Gardens and the Groves area.
