REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
1. PSPO’s are intended to deal with a particular nuisance or problem in a particular geographical area that is detrimental to the local community’s quality of life by imposing conditions on the use of that area which apply to everyone. They are designed to ensure the law-abiding majority can use and enjoy public spaces safe from anti-social behaviour.
2. To test that the proposals included in the PSPOs are proportionate, based on evidence and analysis and are necessary to address the issues of ASB within the specified designated locations.
