Anti-social Behaviour and Alcohol PSPO

From: Cabinet - Thursday, 24th July, 2025 7.00 pm - July 24, 2025

There is an ongoing issue of antisocial behaviour in the Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate areas. The causes are complex. The Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) is recognised by partner agencies as an effective tool for dealing with such behaviour.   Council officers gathered and analysed  the evidence base for the restrictions proposed in the draft PSPO considered by Cabinet. Cabinet was also asked to conscientiously consider the results of a comprehensive consultation with residents, voluntary groups and statutory consultees including the local chief officer of police; the police and crime commissioner; owners or occupiers of land within the affected area. Having carefully considered the evidence base and the results of consultation Cabinet reviewed each of the proposed restrictions.

Recommendations Approved
