Decision details
PSPO (Dog Control)
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
Decisions:
The Cabinet considered a report of the Executive Director (Environment and Place) presenting the Southend-on-Sea City Council (Dog Control) Public Spaces Protection Order of 2021 for renewal.
Resolved:
That the renewal of the Southend-on-Sea City Council (Dog Control) Public Spaces Protection Order of 2021 (“the 2021 PSPO”), be approved.
Reasons for decision:
The Renewal will enable continued necessary control of relevant matters relating to dogs and the ability for officers to issue Fixed Penalty Notices where breaches of the Order are witnessed and those responsible are identified.
Other options:
Not to renew the 2021 PSPO. This would result in the current PSPO expiring at midnight on the 30th April 2024, and this enforcement power would no longer be available to Essex Police and the Council’s authorised officers for tackling ASB in the restricted area.
