Notice of Motion - Footpath Cycling pdf icon PDF 11 KB

Notice of Motion attached

Additional documents:

Minutes:

Resolved:

 

That in accordance with Standing Order 8.4 the following Notice of Motion, be referred to the Cabinet:

 

‘Footpath Cycling

 

During the recent COVID-19 crisis, this town and many others have encouraged and seen increased participation in cycling and walking. This is to be welcomed. The increased participation in cycling and the continued Government encouragement for people to walk means that measures should be taken by this Council to ensure that pedestrians are protected in areas where they come into close contact with cyclists

 

This Council therefore resolves that it should:

 

1. Include the prohibition of cycling on footpaths and pedestrian areas within the Town Centre and Seafront Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO).

 

2. Enable the Community Safety Team and other designated staff to issue fixed penalty notices for non-compliance.’

 

Proposed: Cllr Burzotta

Seconded: Cllr Buck

Notice of Motion - No overnight camping in the Borough pdf icon PDF 53 KB

Notice of Motion attached

Additional documents:

Minutes:

Resolved:

 

That in accordance with Standing Order 8.4 the following Notice of Motion, be referred to the Cabinet:

 

‘No Overnight Camping In The Borough

 

This Council shares public concern about the recent traveller incursions illegally occupying public open spaces and other areas in the Borough. By their very nature, our public open spaces need to remain open and accessible to residents. Whilst the council uses a number of methods to seek to prevent illegal encampments on our public open spaces, this is difficult to achieve without stopping residents from accessing them.

 

The Council therefore seeks to achieve a balance between actively discouraging illegal encampments and maintaining access for residents from those who are determined to set up illegal encampments without affecting residents’ rights of access to their public open spaces.

 

This Council therefore resolves that it should:

 

Introduce a Public Spaces Protection Order which requires no person shall camp or sleep overnight with or without a tent, or using a motor or other vehicle, caravan or any other mobile or static structure [in a public place to which the public or a section of the public has or is permitted to have access, whether on payment or otherwise] without the express prior written consent of the Council.’

 

Proposed : Cllr Cox

Seconded: Cllr Davidson
