Have your say on Public Space Protection Orders being introduced in Immingham

Residents are being asked to have their say on Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) being introduced in Immingham.

The PSPOs are intended to deal with persistent anti-social behaviour in a local area that is detrimental to the community’s quality of life.

They do so by imposing conditions on the use of that area to ensure everyone can use and enjoy public spaces without experiencing nuisance and annoyance.

The Council introduced PSPOs to parts of North East Lincolnshire in July 2019 to target anti-social behaviour and irresponsible dog ownership. Now, residents are being asked for their thoughts on the introduction of a PSPO in the town.

The consultation comes following calls from residents for more to be done regarding Anti-Social Behaviour across Immingham.

Councillor Ron Shepherd, Portfolio Holder for Safer and Stronger Communities, said: “The Council hopes the introduction of a PSPO for anti-social behaviour could make the town a safer and more welcoming place for residents and visitor.

“However, we want to hear the views of as many people as possible and encourage those who have a view to take part in the consultation to make sure their voice is heard.”

Neighbourhood Policing Inspector, Claire Jacobs, added: ‘’We remain committed to working closely with our partners and the community to tackle concerns around anti-social behaviour. Public Space Protection Orders are one of several tools that can help create safer and more welcoming public spaces. We will continue to support efforts that address these concerns.”
