Decision

RESOLVED

To refer to the Mayor and Cabinet the key issues and concerns noted during discussion and identified during the Committee’s research with a recommendation that, as the proposal and its implications require further consideration –

the proposed Public Spaces Protection Order should not be progressed until the issues and concerns contained in the referral have been fully considered, the proposed restrictions reviewed, comprehensive and representative engagement with stakeholders undertaken and a report regarding

·         those issues and concerns;

·         the broader policy and activities in place and further opportunities to address the behaviours which are the subject of the order;

·         the findings of that further engagement; and

·         the justification for the order, if it is to be progressed;

brought to the Safer Stronger Communities Select Committee.
