Approach and learning
- We seek to use orders to enhance spaces and prohibit behaviours that
discourage the community as a whole to enjoy the space.
- ASB and associated drug and alcohol abuse in public spaces is often our key
driver.
- Consultation is key, we have an extended period of 8 weeks as standard and
work very hard to demonstrate we have taken all possible routes to get peoples views and understand any potential unintended effects of an order.
- Policing and patrolling have to be agreed and monitored closely.
- Orders create expectations for residents, need to ensure an on going
dialogue with Local Members and be prepared for other localities nearby to expect a similar approach
