Purpose

The Council is required to review the Public Space Protection Orders (PSPO’s) which apply in the district. This is required every three years. This report considers whether the existing order in place should be extended with a slight variation.

Decision

That Cabinet:

Approve the proposed extension and variation of the existing PSPO for vehicle related nuisance and anti-social behaviour covering the following areas within Stamford: the Station Road car park (also known as Cattle Market), the Meadows and Bath Row, for a further 3 years.

Reasons for the decision

This existing Public Space Protection Order is due to expire in October 2026, by extending the PSPO, and varying it to include new areas within the carpark, this will act as a deterrent and prohibit vehicle related nuisance and anti-social behaviour.

Other options considered

This existing PSPO could be allowed to expire. This would remove the ability to enforce against the matters covered by the Order.
