Consultation has concluded, thank you for your feedback.  Further submissions will not be counted.

Old Leigh Area

Background

The 2021 PSPO was implemented due to a steep rise in Anti-Social Behaviour in the area having a detrimental effect on those living in the area as well as those visiting the area for pleasure.  Whilst the 2021 PSPO has not been used to issue Fixed Penalty Notices, it has been used by officers to educate and disperse anti-social behaviour from the restricted area consistently for the past 3 years. The 2021 PSPO has acted as a preventative measure discouraging anti-social behaviour and it is feared that the expiry of the current order could lead to a resurgence of anti-social behaviour in the restricted area.  The 2021 PSPO forms part of the Operation Union toolkit designed to address anti-social behaviour and crime in high profile foreshore areas across the City of Southend.

Proposal

Renewal will enable continued necessary control of relevant matters relating to the behaviours listed and the ability for officers to issue Fixed Penalty Notices where breaches of the Order are witnessed and those responsible are identified

For a full copy of the Order see the document section to the right of the webpage.
