(A) Internal Consultations The Head of Corporate Resources (FD5109/18) and Head of Regulation and Compliance (LD4393/18) have been consulted and any comments have been incorporated into the report. (B) External Consultations To develop this proposal in line with PSPO guidelines consultation has taken place with the following via partnership meetings and Sefton Councils consultation and engagement process which lasted for six weeks ending on 19/01/18: 1. The Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner. 2. Merseyside Police. 3. Local business’s in the areas that the PSPO will be introduced. 4. Residents in the local community. 5. Sefton Council’s Legal Services. The outcome of the consultation was unanimous in support of the PSPO proposal. The main question within the consultation was “Do you think the direction to not consume alcohol in designated public spaces would be reasonable and necessary in order to prevent Anti-Social Behaviour in the proposed areas?” Below is a sample of the responses received:- I feel that the street drinkers in and around the shoe market strand area are sending out a negative message to our young people they need to be working with outreach detached drugs and alcohol workers and a designated safe area away from the public this will then send a positive message to the young people that it is an issue and a problem that can have a negative effect on their lives we also need to ensure that we don't move our young people into unsafe areas We have numerous complaints regarding the issue in the Southport area. Although we do have concerns over who will enforce the order. This should help to stop underage drinking and alcoholics street drinking and stop littering of empty drinks cans and more monitoring of off licence and supermarkets all out door areas should be no alcohol areas except designated places like outside of pub where area has been designated Very worried about large groups of Yobs hanging round in Kings Gardens and other areas of Southport town centre. They even came into our apartment communal area over Easter Bank Holiday - a large number of youths and girls looking for someone and generally causing trouble and much anxiety. in Kings Gardens we litter pick lots of cans and bottles also we see the gangs drinking There are too many drunks on our streets and leaving the contents of their stomachs behind We need to address shops/off licences that are selling alcohol and cigarettes to under aged young people and members of the public who are purchasing them for minors All respondents to the consultation agreed with the proposed areas, and were asked if other areas should be included. Where suggestions were made, these areas were added to the defined area. Implementation Date for the Decision Following the expiry of the “call-in” period for the Cabinet Member decision. Contact Officer: Chris White Telephone Number: 0151 934 4904 Email Address: [email protected] Appendices: The following appendices are attached to this report: Letter of support from the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner Background Papers: There are no background papers available for inspection. 1. Background 1.1 In 2003 a Designated Public Place Order (DPPO) was made under the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001, to restrict drinking in various designated public places in order to curb Anti-Social Behaviour and criminality. In 2014, the Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014 came into force, which stipulated that any DPPO still in force three years after the Act, would effectively transition into a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO), however it must satisfy the legal requirements of the content of a PSPO, and the current DPPO, does not. 1.2 Orders can be introduced in a specific public area where the Local Authority is satisfied on reasonable grounds that certain conditions have been met, such as whether the activities concerned have or would have a detrimental effect on the quality of life of those in the locality, and that they are or likely to be persistent or continuing in nature, and are justified. 1.3 A PSPO can give Authorised Persons and Merseyside Police Officers/PCSO’s the power to issue a Fixed Penalty Notice to those drinking Alcohol in public spaces, and as such the persons can be compelled to surrender the alcohol to prevent the person continuing to consume the alcohol in the designated area. 1.4 PSPO’s are designed to stop individuals and or groups committing anti-social behaviour (ASB) in a public space and are intended to deal with a particular nuisance or problem in a particular 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 Crime and Anti-Social behaviour. 1.5 The Council can make a PSPO after consultation with the Police and Crime Commissioner and other relevant bodies such as Elected Members and local population. 1.6 The Test Behaviour being restricted has to be having, or be likely to have, a detrimental effect on the quality of life of those in the locality, be persistent or of a continuing nature and be unreasonable. 1.7 Restrictions and requirements are set by the Council after consultation with many partners, including residents and businesses. These can be blanket restrictions and/or requirements or can be targeted against certain behaviours, by certain groups, at certain times. The PSPO can restrict access to public spaces (including certain types of highway) where that route is being used to commit anti-social behaviour. 1.8 The PSPO can be enforced by a Police Officer, Police Community Support Officers and Council officers. There is a penalty for a breach of the PSPO of a fixed penalty notice of £50 if paid within 10 days, rising to £75 thereafter. A breach is also a criminal offence. A fine of up to level 3 can be issued on prosecution if the offence is not discharged by paying the fixed penalty. 1.9 Anyone who lives in, or regularly works in or visits the area can appeal the making of a PSPO in the High Court within six weeks of it coming into effect Further appeal is available each time the PSPO is varied by the Council. More than one restriction can be added to the same PSPO, meaning that a single PSPO can deal with a wider range of behaviours than the orders it replaces 1.10 The PSPO will be live for an initial period of three years. At the end of this time consultation will take place to establish if the PSPO has been successful and should be implemented for another further three years. 2. The Affected Areas 2.1 These Areas have been identified by Sefton ASB Unit and Merseyside Police as areas in which drinking Alcohol in public areas has a direct cause and effect in causing anti-social behaviour and low level crime. Southport Town Centre - the area bounded by Kings Gardens, Promenade, Seabank Road, Gordon Street, Lord Street, Union Street, Castle Street, Hill Street, Wright Street, London Street, Chapel Street, Tulketh Street, Bridge Street, Eastbank Street, Princess Street, Market Street, King Street, Duke Street. Bootle Town Centre - the area bounded by Merton Road, Washington Parade, Marsh Lane and Litherland Road. Formby - Duke Street Park, Kings Road, Phillips Lane down to the footpath (including Meadow Croft and Phillips Close), Formby Railway Station and car park, Formby Bridge, Formby Street and Andrews Lane.

  • St Faith`S Church, Great Crosby Confirmation Registers 1901 – 2000
    1 St Faith`s Church, Great Crosby Confirmation Registers 1901 – 2000 There are two volumes covering the church`s first century, volume 1 covering the period 1901 to 1958 and volume 2 the period 1959 to 2000; volume 2 is not yet full. The registers have entries for a particular confirmation event detailing the names, ages and addresses of those being confirmed (the addresses are not always included for the most recent confirmation candidates). The location of the confirmation service, its date and the Bishop confirming the candidates are given. A number of early male candidates for confirmation came from Merchant Taylors` School which then took boarding pupils. The first volume, for some individuals, mentions when they moved from the district, joined the forces or joined the merchant navy. During the first decade some adults were confirmed privately at the Bishop`s Palace in Liverpool. Services for adults were often held during the latter part of the year and the main confirmation service during March or April. Candidates before WWII would often travel some distance for a confirmation service, in some cases as far as Wigan, Warrington and Rock Ferry. Although most confirmations were conducted by the Bishop of Liverpool or the Bishop of Warrington there have been times when other bishops have conducted the confirmations. Most notable was Lord Runcie of Cuddesdon but in March 1945 the Bishop of the Argentine presided. An interesting feature of the period up to about 1930 is the number of parents who were confirmed shortly before their children were confirmed. In these transcripts some early confirmations are show as having taken place at the Cathedral.

  • Walking and Cycling Guide to Sefton’S Natural Coast
    Walking and Cycling Guide to Sefton’s Natural Coast www.seftonsnaturalcoast.com Altcar Dunes introduction This FREE guide has been published to encourage you to get out and about in Southport and Sefton. It has been compiled to help you to discover Sefton’s fascinating history and wonderful flora and fauna. Walking or cycling through Sefton will also help to improve your health and fitness. With its wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets, Southport makes a very convenient base. So make the most of your visit; stay over one or two nights and take in some of the easy, family-friendly walks, detailed in this guide. Why not ‘warm-up’ by walking along Lord Street with its shops and cafés and then head for the promenade and gardens alongside the Marine Lake. Or take in the sea air with a stroll along the boardwalk of Southport Pier before walking along the sea wall of Marine Drive to the Queen’s Jubilee Nature Trail or the new Eco Centre nearby. All the trails and walks are clearly signposted and suitable for all ages and abilities. However, as with all outdoor activities, please take sensible precautions against our unpredictable weather and pack waterproof clothing and wear suitable shoes. Don’t forget your sun cream during the Summer months. If cycling, make sure that your bike is properly maintained and wear a protective helmet at all times. It's also a good idea to include some food and drink in a small day-pack, as although re-fuelling stops are suggested on the listed routes, there is no guarantee that they will be open when you need them.

  • Translocating Isle of Man Cabbage Coincya Monensis Ssp
    Conservation Evidence (2012) 9, 67-71 www.conservationevidence.com Translocating Isle of Man cabbage Coincya monensis ssp. monensis in the sand-dunes of the Sefton coast, Merseyside, UK Philip H. Smith1* & Patricia A. Lockwood2 19 Hayward Court, Watchyard Lane, Formby, Liverpool L37 3QP 213 Stanley Road, Formby, Liverpool L37 7AN *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY This paper describes the results of a translocation rescue of the British endemic Isle of Man cabbage Coincya monensis ssp. monensis from a sand-dune ridge at Crosby, Merseyside, which was about to be excavated as a source of sand for a coastal protection scheme at nearby Hightown. Using methods developed during a 1992 translocation, over eight hundred 1st year plants, together with seed-pods, were moved by volunteers to two protected receptor sites at Crosby and Birkdale in August 2011. Monitoring the following summer located small surviving populations at the receptor sites but mortality of transplants appeared to be over 90%, seed germination and establishment contributing most individuals. Low success at Crosby seemed partly attributable to winter sand-blow and heavy public pressure, while vegetation overgrowth may have been an adverse factor at Birkdale. An unexpected finding was that the original Crosby colony survived the removal of most of its habitat, about 1300 plants being counted in 2012 on the levelled dune area. More than half were small seedlings, presumably derived from buried seed. Also, 234 Isle of Man cabbage plants were discovered on the new coastal defence bund at Hightown, having arisen from propagules transported from Crosby. Other known Sefton duneland colonies at Southport Marine Lake and Blundellsands were also monitored, the former having apparently declined to extinction.

  • Road Safety Concerns Outside Schools
    Formby High School ‘Determined to Achieve’ Headteacher: DMA/LFO Mr D A Mackenzie BA (Hons) NPQH Freshfield Road Formby 28 February 2020 Liverpool L37 3HW 01704 873100 For the attention of parents of all FHS students enquiries@ formbyhighschool.com www. formbyhighschool.com Dear Parent @FormbyHigh Road Safety You may be aware that Formby High School is participating in a Formby wide initiative led by Andrew Drewary of Road Safety Smart to improve the safe use of all roads in our community and we will continue to support this initiative in whatever way possible. Thank you to those parents who engaged with the recent workshop delivered by Andrew Drewary and who have committed to be involved with Road Safety Smart as this project develops. Through the project, Andrew Drewary will be delivering a road safety awareness session to our Sixth Form students who are either learning to drive or have passed their driving test. This will take place on Wednesday 11 March. As part of our commitment to road safety, I would like to emphasise that we continue to experience considerable safety concerns around the school entrance due to congestion caused by vehicles dropping off and collecting students at the start / end of the school day. I would like to repeat my appeal to all parents to support us in promoting the safety of all our students and school community in the following ways: Encouraging your child to walk or cycle to school (particularly as the weather begins to improve). Dropping off / picking up further away from the school campus (ideally beyond Rosemary Lane / Old Town Lane) to avoid this dangerous congestion.

  • Formby and Little Altcar Neighbourhood Development Plan
    Formby and Little Altcar Neighbourhood Development Plan 2012 to 2030 Page| Page|02 FOREWORD Formby is a great town with a unique heritage and a dynamic future. Its uniqueness is due in part to its open areas of natural beauty, unrivalled coastal dunes and its local heritage. Investment and change in the years ahead will only be worthwhile if it makes a real difference to the lives of local people and the future of its community. The Formby and Little Altcar Neighbourhood Development Plan, [NDP] has been produced jointly by the Parish Councils of Formby and Little Altcar, starting back in September 2013. The Parish Councils wanted the people of Formby and Little Altcar to have a say in all aspects of the future of the town; addressing the issues surrounding housing, infrastructure, health and wellbeing, the environment, and natural/heritage assets. However, most importantly, it wanted local people to decide what they wanted in their community. The NDP sets out a vision for the area that reflects the thoughts and feelings of local people with a real interest in their community. It sets out objectives on key themes such as housing, employment, green space, moving around and community facilities and builds on current and future planned activities. The Parish Councils are committed to developing and strengthening contacts with the groups that have evolved because of the NDP process. We believe that by working together to implement the NDP it will make Formby an even better place to live, work and enjoy. We have had to ensure that our NDP is consistent, where appropriate, with the Sefton Local Plan, the February 2019 National Planning Policy Framework, subsequent updates, and guidance notes.
