Public Space Protection Orders This item was presented by Katherine Gilcreest (LBBD Anti-Social Behaviour Manager). Katherine outlined the new power of a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) as described in the report. PSPOs replace Designated Public Place Orders (DPPOs), such as the one currently in effect in the Borough to allow enforcement officers and the Police to ask people to stop drinking alcohol in public places, which will now end in 2017. Many boroughs are now considering replacing existing DPPOs with PSPOs. It was noted that the a PSPO has to be introduced by the Council’s Assembly following public consultation and that the Community Safety Partnership (CSP) were being consulted to consider whether the introduction of a PSPO is appropriate and enforceable. It was reported that when the public are consulted on Page 1 the introduction of new legislation in the Borough they are generally in favour of bringing in any powers available to improve public order. It was reported that members of the public have approached Council officers about the use of orders to prohibit the use and sale of new psychoactive substances in the Borough, particularly nitrous oxide and that some other Boroughs have introduced PSPOs with this prohibition as a condition. It was reported that there have not been issues noted with these conditions in the UK. It was reported that other boroughs have worded this condition as banning some named substances then noting “other substances” to ensure that all substances are covered by the PSPO. It was reported that there is consideration for a PSPO in Barking Town Centre, particularly around Barking Train Station where there is a wide range of issues including alcohol, begging, littering, urination, loitering and dogs off leads. It was reported that many known offenders have had orders given against them previously and that arrangements with British Transport Police and other plans are already in place, however these have been used before and problems have reoccurred. It was suggested that a PSPO could set a standards of behaviour across the board and give clear enforcement rules for all rather than requiring specific orders against persistent offenders. Members of the public have also reported issues around a hardware retail location in Hartford Road where large groups of people wait by a business for potential work. It has been reported that those who don’t get work that day have begun sleeping in the area, street drinking and urinating. It was reported that there are plans in place to address this behaviour without a PSPO, however there are similar issues in locations across the A406 route in other boroughs and not taking strong enforcement action could result in this site in LBBD being seen as the most lenient and attractive of these locations. It was noted that enforcement of a PSPO requires resources from the Police and Council enforcement officers and that as many people engaging in this behaviour are vulnerable there would not be a recovery of this cost through fines. It was reported that the Police still have the power to seize alcohol being drunk in public and licensing can take action against retailers selling means to cover alcohol up. It was noted that retailers around Station Parade had been subject to test purchases recently with one failure. It was noted that retailers cannot sell alcohol to people who are already drunk, however the alcohol tolerance of heavy drinkers is very high and it can be hard to tell if they have been drinking. It was noted that there are significant regeneration plans for Barking Town Centre and the Borough more widely, including a Page 2 large number of new homes, which may introduce new issues. It was reported that the process of adding new conditions to a PSPO is relatively simple. Steve Thompson as chair of the Safer Neighbourhood Board noted that the consultation process is much reduced from what it was for DPPOs and is now merely “to consult with interested parties”. Steve raised the concern that consulting on this and bringing in a PSPO raises public expectation of enforcement. It was reported that there have not been any known incidents of a PSPO being subject to judicial review due to lack of public consultation, however the London Borough of Hackney have amended a PSPO to enforce against only begging and not rough sleeping following a negative public response to this condition. It was noted that the area this was introduced in Hackney is of a similar profile to Barking Town Centre. It was noted that Council enforcement officers do not currently have processes in place for checking names and addresses to issue penalty notices for disorder and other enforcement actions which they may undertake if a PSPO were enacted.
